Pakistan captain Babar Azam kept his hot streak alive in the opening Asia Cup 2023 game against Nepal as he blasted 151 runs from just 131 balls, rescuing Pakistan after a shaky start. His heroics led Pakistan to a mammoth total of 342 runs for the loss of six wickets in the allotted 50 overs.
Babar Azam’s innings began at a snail’s pace, but he kicked it into high gear later on, boosting his strike rate. While he spent a good amount of time at the crease, the Pakistan captain showcased a ton of gorgeous shots. But the one that really stood out was his epic one-handed six against Nepal’s bowler Gulshan Jha.
This one-handed six might remind you of Rishabh Pant, who’s kind of famous for busting out this shot.
