Ramiz Raja wants to marry Babar Azam

Former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja made a strange statement on Monday (August 7) ​​when he expressed his admiration for Babar Azam, who has been in excellent form in the ongoing Lankan Premier League.

 Praising Babar's consistency, Ramiz said he wants to marry the Pakistan captain, who will play for Colombo Strikers in the 2023 LPL. 

Ramiz's comment came after Babar scored a match-winning hundred against the Galle Titans at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. "Fifty in safety, class and quality, calm.

 He's your man in that situation, deep at the back of the innings. I love him completely – I want to marry him,” Raja was heard saying on air. A video of Ramiz Raja's comment has gone viral on social media. Coming into the game, Galle Titans set Colombo Strikers a tough target of 189 when asked to bat first.

 In response, the strikers attacked Babar Azam with 104 from 59 balls to cross the line with seven wickets and one to spare. 

With that knock, he became only the second batsman after Chris Gayle to hit 10 centuries in T20 cricket. Babar scored three centuries in international cricket and two centuries in Vitality Blast and National T20 Cup.

 He also smashed a hundred in the Pakistan Super League and one in a tour match against Leicestershire. Babar's LPL ton reached 10. Gayle holds the record for the shortest hundreds in the shortest format - 22.
