Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is enjoying his off time after a hectic home season of cricket that included Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 and a two-format series against New Zealand. Notably, Babar-led Men in Green emerged victorious in both T20 International (T20I) and One Day Interrnational (ODI) series against the Blackcaps, which concluded on May 7.
After a convincing victory, Babar now seems to be having fun as he shared a video of himself riding a sports bike on the highway. Although Babar is seen wearing a helmet in the clip, the fans of the Pakistani cricketer still expressed their concerns for Babar’s safety. They urged him to refrain from any risky activity ahead of the Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup scheduled in India later this year .
“Ready, set, GO!,” Babar captioned the video.

Notably, Babar is the most valuable asset of the Pakistan team and is the captain of the side across formats. He’s currently the no. ranked ODI batter of the world and has 5089 runs to his name in the 50-over format, including 18 tons. It is for the same reason that the supporters of him were taken aback after seeing him speeding up a bike, as they cannot afford to play a major tournament without their star batter.
Replying to Babar’s video, one of the users wrote: “You are very precious bhai, please don’t ride a bike.” Meanwhile, the other supporter commented: “No more bikes till the World Cup, please. No risks, skipper.”
Here’s how fans reacted:
You are very precious bhai, please don’t ride a bike 🙏🏼❤️

These heavy bikes are totally different and need more control as compared to the other normal bikes in Pakistan, and also, u need some time to get used to them. Stay safe, captain.
