Cricket is not just about boundaries, wickets, and fierce competition but also about the camaraderie and friendships that form on the field. Recently, Pakistan’s cricket sensation Imam ul Haq gave fans a delightful peek into the lighter side of his friendship with teammate Babar Azam.
As the duo of Imam and Babar gears up for Pakistan’s upcoming Test tour of Australia, Imam took to social media to share some heartwarming moments, adding a humorous twist to their bond.
The World Cup setback
The cricketing journey for Babar and Imam took an unexpected turn during the ODI World Cup 2023. Both players faced challenges on the field, struggling to make a lasting impression. The team’s performance prompted significant changes in management, and surprisingly, Babar decided to step down from the captaincy.
