However, taking it to social media Wasim Akram gave a clarification over the matter. According to Wasim the conversation between him and Babar was “just a discussion about [Kings’] bowlers”.
“Hello! Surprised to see reactions to my talking to Babar at the boundary last night. What I was saying was ‘why our bowlers are not bowling yorkers or slower ones offside off’.nothing else. Babar is a wonderful boy and has tried his best. And what he wants for dinner,” Wasim Akram tweeted.

Was Wasim Akram going harsh on Babar Azam on the boundary line?If so then it's totally wrong!You can't do that to captain of national team. Did Babar chose squad of Karachi Kings?It is only Babar who's performing for KK. Babar at the receiving end of anger is unjustified!#HBLPSL7 pic.twitter.com/QEHJmU8YS8

Wasim Akram wasnt looks a happy chappy, not one to normally show his emotions, don’t think he really should have been remonstrating with Babar on the touch line, if anything save it for the changing room.
Don't forget that he select this team on his own in draft.#WasimAkram pic.twitter.com/AEGUMICkLr— Muhammad Areeb Uddin Sheikh. #AreebCricketWorld (@areeb_7official) February 17, 2022
