Pakistani team's balcony photo goes viral, did Babar Azam-Haris Rauf do this before the Bangladesh match?

In the Champions Trophy 2025, the host Pakistan team played 2 matches of its group stage. First, it had to face a crushing defeat against New Zealand in the opener match. Then it suffered a humiliating defeat from the Indian team in Dubai. The result of both these defeats was that now the host team is out of the group stage itself. But there is still one match left against Bangladesh, which was to be played in Rawalpindi on 27 February. But the match was delayed due to rain and meanwhile a picture from the balcony of the Pakistani team went viral. Babar Azam, Haris Rauf and Imam ul Haq are seen in it. Now the question is what is there in this picture, which the fans are sharing and taunting the players.

Why did the photo of Babar-Rauf go viral?

Pakistan's players were going to play for the last time in the Champions Trophy 2025. But due to rain, the toss and the match were delayed. So the team's star batsman Babar Azam, stormy bowler Haris Rauf and opener Imam ul Haq were waiting for the match to start in their team's balcony. During this, all these players were seen laughing and joking. Also, looking at the mood of the weather, they were seen drinking something. Now you must be wondering what is so special about this. Actually, despite being out of the tournament, the fans could not tolerate seeing them laughing and smiling like this before the match against Bangladesh. So they started taunting on social media. A fan wrote sarcastically - 'Kitne Afsarda Hain Ye Log', which means 'These people are so sad'.

Will Pakistan's team be without a win?

After 29 years, an ICC event returned to Pakistan. In such a situation, the fans had a lot of expectations from their team and star players. Especially, they were expecting Babar to play a big innings against Team India and win the match. But he flopped. His performance in both the matches was very ordinary. The pace attack comprising Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah was also in bad shape. All three were badly beaten.

The result of this was that the Pakistani team was shamefully eliminated from the tournament. The Pakistani team wanted to save its honour with at least one win against Bangladesh. But now there is a threat of being eliminated from the tournament without winning any match. Because due to rain the toss could not take place till 3 o'clock. Earlier, the last match to be played between Australia and South Africa at this venue was also washed out due to heavy rain.
