A video of an incident during the press conference after the first Test between Pakistan and New Zealand has been doing rounds on Twitter. It is of skipper Babar Azam who gave a death stare to a reporter who claimed the Pakistan skipper was ignoring him.

As Babar was getting up to leave the presser room, the reporter shouted, “Ye koi tareeka nahi hain, yaha sawaal ke lie aapko ishaare kar rahe hain (This is not the way, I’m making repeated gestures to ask a question). But Babar gave a death stare to the journalist and left the room, and the media manager turned off the microphone.

The video of the incident has gone instantly viral. Watch the video below:

A few days ago, when the same journalist said “scored centuries with the ball” to Pakistan left-spinner Nauman Ali, Babar didn’t seem to like his tone. So the present response seems to be an answer to that incident.

Pakistan vs New Zealand 1st Test ended in a draw

The 1st Test of the two-match Test series was played at the National Stadium Karachi. After winning the toss, Pakistan batted first and reached a strong total of 438 with the help of Babar Azam’s 161 and Sarfaraz Ahmed’s 86.

New Zealand chased away the total with former skipper Kane Williamson scoring a double century and Tom Latham’s 113 runs. Devon Conway also contributed 92 runs, while Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell scored 42 and 47 respectively. All-rounder Ish Sodhi added 65 runs to take the Kiwis to 612/9.

In the second innings, Pakistan set a 138-run target for the visitors after Babar declared the innings on 311/8 with an hour’s play remaining in the Test. Despite a powerful start, only 7.3 overs out of 15 were bowled due to bad light; the result was that the Kiwis could end at 61/1, and the match ended in a draw.
