During the ongoing second Test between Pakistan and England at Multan, hosts captain Babar Azam showcased his humorous side and recreated a hilarious meme with on-field umpire Marias Erasmus, which has gone viral on social media.
The picture, circulating on social media, captured on day one of the Test, has Babar talking to his batting partner Abdullah Shafique. Marias Erasmus is seen standing just behind Babar, but it appears as if the contour around Babar’s midsection has changed, perfectly aligning with the umpire’s torso behind him.
Here is the picture:
On day two – during England’s innings – Imam-ul-Haq’s throw from point bounced off non-striker Zak Crawley and pinged into Erasmus’s belly. Babar then decided to have some fun with Erasmus and walked upto him and stood straight beside him, and then hilariously patted the umpire's belly as he recreated a meme.
The commentators even showed the original meme picture, which showed Babar having a protruding round belly thanks to Erasmus.
Here is the video:
This hilarious recreation by Babar and sense of humor shown by Erasmus led to fans on Twitter lauding both of them.
