‘Babar deserved man of the tournament’ Pak fans in social media

Australian opener David Warner who was given the man of the tournament award sparked roaring controversy as many cricket fans especially the Pakistanis didn’t believe he was deserving. The opening batsman scored a splendid 289 runs this year’s T20 world cup with an average of 48.16.

@mithunshashank what nonsense. How can he win player of the tournament when he was benched by his glorious IPL team?

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Babar Azam scored 303 runs despite playing one less game at an average of 60.60. Many Pakistani fans described it as ‘shameful’ and ‘disgrace’ to the game of cricket.

Babar should be player of the tournament who was consistent throughout the tournament warner dont deserve 😡😡😡

Pakistan’s pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar also tweeted that Babar Azam deserved the award rather than David Warner. In the tweet, he wrote “Was really looking forward to see @babarazam258 becoming Man of the Tournament. Unfair decision for sure.”

Was really looking forward to see @babarazam258 becoming Man of the Tournament. Unfair decision for sure.
