Babar Azam gets frustrated by overzealous fans in Cardiff

While cricketers bask in the limelight, there are instances when it becomes burdensome. This was exemplified when Babar was besieged by his supporters in Cardiff. The fans, eager for selfies and autographs, crowded around Babar, disregarding his personal space. Despite being under the protection of security personnel, the Pakistan skipper became visibly annoyed by the incessant demands for photos and interactions.

“Do minutes doge? Sar par nahi chado,” Babar exclaimed, which translates to, “Will you give me two minutes? Don’t climb on my head.” Following this, he directed the security team to disperse the crowd. The video of this incident has quickly gone viral, sparking a range of reactions from the public. Some fans expressed understanding of Babar’s need for privacy, while others were taken aback by his reaction.

Babar’s thoughtful response

Despite the initial outburst, Babar later demonstrated his usual grace by agreeing to take pictures with fans, which helped ease the situation. This act of goodwill highlighted his appreciation for his supporters, despite the overwhelming nature of the encounter.
