After Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood Gives Babar Azam Sense Of Deja Vu With Ripper. Watch | Cricket News

[ad_1] It was deja vu all over again for Pakistan batter Babar Azam as Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood sent him packing with a ripper on Day 4 of the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. Hazlewood's inswinging delivery was similar to the one his captain and fellow pacer Pat Cummins bowled to get rid of Babar. After pitching, the ball nipped back sharply to rattle the stumps, with Babar, who was batting brilliantly on 41, pretty late to get into his strides. Babar's dismissal in the second innings was pretty similar to the one in the first innings.Huge moment in this chase!
