Babar Azam Ducks Out on T20I Return vs South Africa
Babar Azam, a famous Pakistani cricket player, is back playing T20 games after some time away.
Sadly, in his first game back against South Africa, he got out very quickly without scoring any runs, which is called a 'duck'.
This happened in Rawalpindi.
Before this game, some people were already questioning why he was back in the team.
Babar hasn't been playing very well lately in any type of cricket game.
The Pakistan team also wore a special pink jersey for this match.
They did this to help raise awareness for breast cancer, showing their support for a campaign called Pink Ribbon Pakistan.
Even the other team and officials wore pink ribbons to show they care.
Babar Azam dismissed for a duck on his return to T20Is against South Africa.
Azam faced only two balls in the match held on Tuesday (October 28).
This T20I return for Azam followed his absence from the side since December 2024.
Pakistan wore a pink jersey to support the Pink Ribbon Pakistan campaign for breast cancer awareness.
