After India defeated Pakistan by six wickets, ex-Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar termed Babar Azam a "fraud" and said he has been a fraud from the beginning. "Who is Babar Azam's hero? Tuk Tuk," he added. "You have picked the wrong heroes. Your thought process is wrong," he added. Babar Azam scored 23(26) runs against India.
