“Tribute to programming languages” – Fans react as Babar Azam is dismissed cheaply yet again in MUL vs PES PSL 2025 clash

Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam was dismissed cheaply in the team’s PSL 2025 clash with Multan Sultans at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday, April 19. The ace batter was dismissed for just two runs off five balls after electing to bat first.

Babar has endured back-to-back batting failures in the ongoing season, registering scores of 0,1 and 2 so far. The right-handed batter was trapped LBW off left-arm pacer David Willey’s bowling in the third over.

The former Pakistan captain was heavily trolled on social media following yet another disappointing outing in PSL 2025. Here are some of the top reactions on X:

“Definitely he will make half century in his 50th match,” wrote a fan.

“Tribute to programming languages, he started from 0,” commented another.

“This ipl shouldn’t distract from you a fact that Babar Azam failed yet again,” posted a fan.

“Vaibhav Suryawanshi at 14 has more power than Babar Azam,” chimed in yet another.

“By his 10th PSL innings, he’ll finally score a 50 off 45 balls — and boom, whole Pakistan will start justifying him as the next Viv Richards or Sir Garry Sobers,” remarked another.

Peshawar Zalmi are still searching for their first win of PSL 2025. They started their campaign with back-to-back losses and will look to get off the mark on the points table against Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans.

All three of Babar Azam’s dismissals in PSL 2025 have come against left-arm pacers

Babar Azam has struggled against left-arm fast bowlers in PSL 2025. In his team’s opening encounter against Quetta Gladiatiors, he was dismissed for a two-ball duck by Mohammad Amir.

The talented batter was undone by the extra bounce and ended up hitting the ball straight to short cover. In the subsequent fixture with Islamabad United, Babar scored just one run before perishing to Australia’s left-arm seamer Ben Dwarshuis.

Babar got an outside edge to a good length ball and was caught by Jason Holder at slip. With three consecutive dismissal to left-arm pacers, the 30-year-old has now come under a lot of pressure.
