Babar Azam Engages In Physical Fight With Fans On Street, Was Seen Shoving A Man; Video
In a recent incident that has garnered significant attention, former Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam was involved in a heated confrontation with fans on the streets. A video capturing the altercation has gone viral, showing Azam visibly agitated, gesturing aggressively, and pushing a young fan aside as he attempted to navigate through a crowd of onlookers.
While the exact cause of the confrontation remains unclear, it's speculated that the fans' taunts may have been related to Azam's recent exclusion from Pakistan's T20I squad following the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
This is not the first time Azam has found himself at odds with fans. Earlier in Cardiff, he was seen asking security to disperse a crowd of fans seeking selfies, expressing his frustration over the invasion of personal space.
These incidents highlight the growing tension between public figures and fan expectations. While fans play a crucial role in an athlete's career, maintaining boundaries is essential for the well-being of both parties.
PSL 2025: Sam Billings Pokes Fun At Babar Azam Over Contrasting Fifties In Hilarious Post
In a humorous turn of events during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025, England's Sam Billings playfully teased Pakistan's Babar Azam over their contrasting half-century performances. Billings, representing Lahore Qalandars, achieved the fastest fifty of the tournament, reaching the milestone in just 19 balls against Quetta Gladiators. Conversely, Babar Azam, leading Peshawar Zalmi, recorded the slowest fifty, taking 47 balls to reach the mark.
Billings shared an Instagram story juxtaposing their innings. This light-hearted jab highlighted the stark difference in their scoring rates while acknowledging that both innings contributed to their respective teams' victories.
Babar's slower-paced innings have attracted criticism, especially in the fast-paced T20 format where quick scoring is pivotal. Despite this, he remains a key figure in Pakistan's cricket landscape.
The PSL 2025 faced an unexpected halt due to geopolitical tensions but is scheduled to resume on May 17, with the final set for May 25. As the tournament progresses, fans eagerly anticipate more thrilling performances and perhaps more playful banter among players.
