Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Captain Babar Azam reminded to umpire that I am the captain after receiving a review from the Pakistani player Rizwan Khan in Asia Cup Super-Four stage match against Sri Lanka.

According to the ICC rules, if umpire does not give an out on the appeal of the players, then the captain has the authority to take a review.

An interesting video of match played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka last night is circulating on social media in which captain Babar Azam is reminding field umpire and the players that he is the captain of the team after being ignored during the review.

What happened was that during Pakistan’s fielding in the 16th over, Hasan Ali’s ball was appealed for catch and wicketkeeper Muhammad Rizwan, along with the players, quickly signaled a review.

Field umpire Anil Chaudhry also asked third umpire for a review before asking Babar Azam or any reaction from the national captain.

Seeing this, Babar surprisingly controlled his emotions and told him twice that ‘I am the captain’, during this incident Babar also had a slight smile on his face while Rizwan was also laughing.

During the match, memes were also created on this light-hearted comical moment, in which Babar Azam is being portrayed as an oppressed captain.
