Temba Bavuma Pakistan controversy : Taba Babuma was called ‘contempt’ complaint, Pakistan was called ‘apologizing’, viral video in the wtc final again. When the whole cricket world is busy with Markram’s great century and the injured hamstring, Tabuma is busy praising the heroic half-century. At this time, a part of the cricket -loving Pakistan cricket team sharply criticized. South African captain Babuma is demanding Pakistan to “apologize” to “disrespectful behavior”. But why? Pakistan has no international match right now, so why is Pakistan being targeted during a great innings of Babuma?
The answer is hidden in Karachi in February this year about the incident. Then there was a tri -series – between Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand. The way Pakistan cricketers had said goodbye to Babuma when he returned to the last league match of the series.
In the 27th over, Babuma was batting for 42 runs. Pushing a ball on the off -side tries to quickly. Batting partner Matthew responded to Britz at the beginning, but stopped at the last minute, and Babuma had to stop in the middle. Saud Shakil broke the stump directly over the ball. Babuma could not return to the crease. South Africa broke a pair of 5 runs.
After the out, Pakistani fielder Kamran Gulam came to Babuma and joined Shakil and Agh Salman. Babuma then has to stop, because his path is blocked. Later, when the Pakistani cricketers moved away, he left the field. The match umpires did not take the incident well. Immediately they called Mohammed Rizwan and had a long discussion on the field.
Supporters’ anger and ‘apologize’ claim
Such behavior of Pakistani cricketers with Bavuma was widely criticized by the media. And it turns out, that anger has not yet been reduced. The controversial video went viral again on Friday, on the WTC final day.
Meanwhile, Babuma and Opener Markram batted great with the tension in the left -foot hamstring. In extraordinary batting conditions, they scored an unbeaten 5 -run stand against Australia’s legendary bowling lineup, taking South Africa very close to the first WTC title. At the end of the third day of the third day of the target of 212 runs, the end of the third day – only 5 runs away from the win.
Babuma was unbeaten on 8 for 121, though there was a limit to the race, but there was no shortage of batting. And Markram was unbeaten on 42 for 5, the highest personal score of the final. Although Australia attacked the four best -time Test bowlers, the South Africa pair could not break, and even pressed it.
However, the Proteas are still unable to sleep. This is because the South African male team has a history of losing from the ICC tournament. They have no ICC title except the ICC knockout trophy of the year.
On the one hand, when the chances of winning South Africa under the leadership of Babuma are strong, on the other hand the fans are criticizing Pakistan’s behavior to bring back an old controversy. Whether the Pakistan team will respond to this criticism, or will it be quiet, all to see now.
