Fan gifts special crown to Babar Azam

22 November, 2023

Babar, who recently relinquished Pakistan’s captaincy from all three formats, continued to get unwavering support from his passionate fans.

The right-handed batter is one of the top batters in the world and is often compared with the likes of Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson.

For his unreal consistency, he is also called “The King” by a large number of fans.

Meanwhile, in the latest turn of events, one of his fans presented him with a crown.

“A lucky fan got to meet Babar Azam and gave him a crown,” the user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Under the batter’s leadership, Pakistan failed to qualify for the semifinals as they finished fifth in the standings with eight points.
