Pakistan batter and Peshawar Zalmi skipper Babar Azam came up with a hilarious response to Ramiz Raja's question during toss ahead of the PSL 2025 game against the Quetta Gladiators on Saturday in Rawalpindi. With Ramiz Raja asking Babar about the furore over his form consistently, the latter said 'Accha lagta hai' with a wide smile.
The Lahore-born cricketer has struggled for consistency across formats at the highest level in the last 18 months or so. The former Pakistan captain especially attracted criticism for not delivering the goods during Champions Trophy 2025. However, the right-hander found some semblance of form during the recent away ODI series against New Zealand, scoring two half-centuries.
During the toss, Ramiz asked Babar:
Aapki apni form, social media par ek toofan mach jaayega, aap 100 karein ya na karein, toofan machta hai. Aapko kaisa lagta hai?" (Your form, there is discussion in social media, regardless of whether you score a hundred or not. How do you feel about that?)
The ex-Pakistan captain replied:
Accha lagta hai. (It feels good.)
Peshawar Zalmi set 217 to win in Rawalpindi
Meanwhile, the Gladiators have put on a spectacular show with the bat against Zalmi, led by the opening stand of 88 between Saud Shakeel and Finn Allen. Shakeel top-scored with 59, while Allen also hammered a 25-ball 53.
Hasan Nawaz chipped in with 41 off 32 balls, while Kusal Mendis provided the finishing touch by clobbering 35 off only 14 deliveries.
