"Zimbabar: The Unsold Story" - Fans react as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan find no buyers at The Hundred 2023 Draft

Pakistan captain Babar Azam and keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan were among the notable names who attracted no takers at The Hundred Draft 2023 on Thursday, March 23.The two batting stars had a reserve price of £100,000 for the draft. Despite Babar and Rizwan's impressive record in white-ball cricket, no team expressed any interest in them.Both players were in stellar form in the recently concluded edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2023). With 550 runs to his name from 12 games, Rizwan was the leading run-getter in the competition. Babar, on the other hand, mustered 522 runs in 11 outings, finishing as the second-highest run-scorer.Following the development, a number of fans took to social media, trolling the two Pakistani stars for failing to find a team at the draft. Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter:Anant Tiwari@AnantTiw1Opened twitter after 10 days and the first thing i saw #Zimbabar got unsold in #TheHundred 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣#BabarAzam #Zimbabar#Pakistan1Opened twitter after 10 days and the first thing i saw #Zimbabar got unsold in #TheHundred 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣#BabarAzam #Zimbabar#PakistanBhupender Thakur@MisterBeeTee@mufaddal_vohra 100 ball to Babar ko akele chaiye fifty banane ke liye 1212@mufaddal_vohra 100 ball to Babar ko akele chaiye fifty banane ke liye 😁Anshu@anshu62811070Zimbabar:The unsold story #TheHundredDraft #unsold #Zimbabar #BabarAzamZimbabar:The unsold story😂 #TheHundredDraft #unsold #Zimbabar #BabarAzam https://t.co/GUuWiLK8YEKaran@karannpatelllThis is an eye-opener for Pakistani fans who are living in a delusion that Babar and Rizwan are good t20 players.
