Controversy Erupts as Ramiz Raja Mocks Babar Azam on Live TV
A controversy arose on Day 1 of the Pakistan-South Africa Test in Lahore when former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja made an insulting comment about Babar Azam during live commentary.
The incident occurred at the Gaddafi Stadium when Babar was batting and South Africa's Senuran Muthusamy appealed for a caught-behind dismissal. As Babar reviewed the decision, Ramiz was overheard saying:
Yeh out hai, ab yeh drama karega
meaning "He is out, now he will do drama". The remark went live on air, although his mic was supposed to be off.
The replay showed no edge, and Babar was given not out, making the situation more awkward for Ramiz Raja.
