During the T20 World Cup 2024 match against the United States on Thursday, Pakistan cricket team batter Azam Khan got into a heated exchange with a fan after being dismissed for a golden duck.
Struggling with his form recently, Azam was trapped LBW by Nosthush Kenjige for 0. As he walked back to the pavilion, Azam displayed animated expressions and even glared at a fan. While a picture of the incident went viral, the exact cause was unclear.
Meanwhile, Azam, who is the son of former Pakistan captain Moin Khan, faced severe criticism on social media, with many users highlighting the issue of ‘nepotism.’

Newcomers USA pulled off a stunning victory over former champions Pakistan in a Super Over, marking the first major upset of the ongoing T20 World Cup on Thursday.
Pakistan, batting first, posted a score of 159 for seven in their 20 overs. In response, the USA matched the score, finishing at 159 for three.
In the Super Over, the USA scored 18 runs for the loss of one wicket, while Pakistan managed only 13 for one.
This result is reminiscent of Pakistan’s surprising loss to Ireland in the 2007 ODI World Cup, where Ireland was participating in their first World Cup.
USA’s skipper Monank Patel led with a fluent 50 off 38 balls, supported by Andries Gous with 35 off 26 balls. Aaron Jones, who starred in the USA’s victory over Canada in the tournament opener, remained unbeaten on 36 off 26 balls.
Earlier, Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam top-scored with 44, and Shadab Khan added 40.
For the USA, Nosthush Kenjige was the standout bowler, taking three wickets for 30 runs.
