WATCH: Fans chant 'Pakistan da pawa, Babar lawa' in Babar Azam's support

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was earlier criticised by the crowd for failing to deliver in the Test series, however, this time the fans chanted in his support. 

The supporters, while copying the style of the recent trending video "Lahore Da Pawa, Akhtar Lawa", shouted "Pakistan da pawa, Babar lawa".

The support came after a video went viral in which fans could be seen chanting  "Zimbabar, Zimbabar" following his batting record in the fourth innings of the Test series against England after he failed to score once again. 

The video of the chants went viral on social media after which a lot of people called out such behaviour towards a national hero. They came in his support, expressing their disappointment with the crowd in Multan. 

The slogan "Lahore da pawa, Akhtar lawa" translates into "Lahore's support, Akhtar Lawa", which represents a Lahore-based businessman-politician, Akhtar Lawa, who became popular due to his humourous yet energetic style while saying it. 

Several videos of Akhtar and memes depicting the video were shared across social media since its popularity.
