Amidst Babar’s evident frustration, things escalated when Dhaka’s Irfan Sukkur accused Azam of directing foul language towards him.

Despite attempts from the umpires and Dhaka’s captain to diffuse the situation, Babar Azam’s anger reached its pinnacle, leading to a barrage of abuses directed at the wicket-keeper.
Remarkably, Babar Azam channeled his anger and frustration into a match-winning performance, guiding the Riders to an impressive total of 183 runs. This turn of events showcased Azam’s ability to transform adversity into motivation on the cricket field.
