However, Azhar had the back of Babar Azam-led side, as he defended the team against ‘seasonal fans’.

Wish i was a seasonal fan like many others, would be really easy to hate/abuse and take out my frustration rn. As much as I’m angry – this is still my team, thru the ups & thru the downs. The game was heartbreaking but these boys will always be my boys. Baaki sab ki apni marzi. https://t.co/iTS13Ua4EE

In response to a fan who questioned him, “So how’s the backing them [Green Shirts] going now”, Azhar wrote, “Wish i was a seasonal fan like many others, would be really easy to hate/abuse and take out my frustration rn.”

Bhai criticism karain, leken abuse nahi.

With that being said, we were very rubbish today. Big changes to be done! https://t.co/I4Cn9VXeHQ

“As much as I’m angry – this is still my team, thru the ups & thru the downs. The game was heartbreaking but these boys will always be my boys. Baaki sab ki apni marzi,” he added.

The singer also requested fans that they are open ‘to criticize’ but requested them not ‘to abuse’ the players.

We were rubbish today. Deserved to lose. But anyone who wears the star on their chest has my support & will always do. Not just only when their playing world class. But ALWAYS. That’s the kind of fan I am. With that being said, i request everyone to criticise but DO NOT abuse. 🙏🏽
