Wicketkeeper Azam Khan got brutally roasted online after his flop show on Pakistan‘s tour of England continued in the fourth T20I, which the visitors lost by seven wickets in London on Thursday, but the team, led by skipper Babar Azam, put its arm around the young player to motivate and comfort him.
Khan scored a five-ball duck and then dropped a couple of catches, which led to him getting trolled on social media for his uninspiring performance with both bat and as a wicketkeeper.However, in a video posted on microblogging social media platform ‘X’, captain Babar could be seen walking up to Khan, who stood dejected close to the stumps, and motivated the 25-year-old with a pat on his back and a few encouraging words.

After the match, the troll army went on to question Khan’s selection in the national team and the fitness of the heavyset cricketer.
In the fourth T20I, Pakistan were bowled out for 157 and England chased down the target comfortably to win the series with 27 balls to spare.
The defeat meant Pakistan lost the four-match series 2-0 as the hosts won the first and the last match, while the games in Leeds and Cardiff were washed out.
Both the teams will now fly out to the US for the T20 World Cup, where England will try to defend their title.
