VIDEO: Babar Azam's fuming exchange during BPL

Pakistan's former skipper Babar Azam, known for his prowess and elegance on the pitch, has established himself as a rather calm individual during games and fans have rarely seen him involved in confrontational mode.

However, fans got to see Babar's angry side during Rangpur Riders', for which Babar plays in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), match against Durdanto Dhaka. 

The incident occurred in the 13th over of the Riders' innings with Babar getting involved in a heated argument with Dhaka's wicketkeeper Irfan Sukkur.

The umpire and Dhaka captain Mosaddek Hossain approached Babar to calm him down, but he remained visibly upset with the wicketkeeper in general.

It must be noted that this was Babar's second half-century of the competition as he guided his side to 183/8 via his 62-run knock.

Earlier, in his first BPL game, the 29-year-old played a crucial role, staying unbeaten with a well-executed 56 runs from 49 deliveries, featuring six boundaries, at a striking rate of 114.28.

The fans in Bangladesh are enjoying his presence and his stardom speaks for itself.

Earlier, a video went viral where the 29-year-old was going to the team bus, fans in huge numbers were standing right outside to see a glimpse of their favourite cricketer.
