Pakistan’s star batter, Babar Azam, who is also one of the most admired figures in his country, boasts a huge fan following worldwide. In a display of sportsmanship and kindness that transcends borders, Pakistani cricket star Babar Azam made headlines with his heart-warming gesture towards a young female fan.
While Babar was returning from practice ahead of the third Test, fans were waiting to get a picture clicked with the batter. Babar obliged and got a picture clicked with a young fan. The young girl’s parents informed him that she plays very good cricket and that is why they are planning to shift to Pakistan so that the girl can represent the country in cricket. After hearing this, in a heart-warming act, Babar gifted his gloves to the young girl. The youngster was delighted with Babar’s act of kindness. The video of Babar giving away his gloves to the girl is being widely circulated.
In fact, during the practice session, the Pakistan team was joined by the late Australian all-rounder, Andrew Symonds’ son, Will Symonds. The Pakistan cricket team greeted him well and even played cricket with Will.
Pakistan cricket team has surely been winning hearts with their kind gestures. But the team hasn’t been able to deliver results on the field. The team lost the first two Test matches against Australia. They are yet to win a Test match on Australian soil since 1995, having suffered 16 consecutive losses, which is the most by any touring team.
Babar’s poor form has also come under the scanner. The right-hand batter failed to score even a single fifty in Test matches in 2023. Even in this series, his highest score has been 41, and he managed to score just 77 runs in the first 2 Tests. As Australia take on Pakistan in the 3rd Test match, Babar’s form will be crucial for the visitors to avoid a series clean-sweep.
