In an unusual turn of events, Pakistan’s cricket star and team captain, Babar Azam, found himself on the wrong side of the law as he was fined for exceeding the speed limit while driving on a highway. The incident occurred on a busy stretch of the Punjab motorway, sending shockwaves through the cricketing community and the country’s fanbase.
The renowned batter was pulled over by the traffic authorities for driving at a speed significantly above the permitted limit. Babar was reportedly clocked at a speed of over 150 kmph, far exceeding the legal limit on the Punjab motorway.
Local authorities promptly issued a ticket to the Pakistan skipper, imposing a fine for his violation of traffic rules. Babar cooperated with the officers, accepting the ticket and acknowledging his mistake. It is worth noting that this is not the first instance when police have stopped Babar’s audi car.
Earlier this year, he was caught by Police for not having a proper number plate on his vehicle.
Netizens roast Babar Azam
The news of Babar’s traffic violation quickly spread on social media platforms, with fans taking a subtle dig at him.
Neither he knows how to drive nor he knows how to score in important games 😔
