The star batter is widely known for his heartwarming interactions with fans outside the field.
During the T20 World Cup 2024, the former Pakistan captain won the hearts of fans after he gifted gloves to an emotional child mascot.
A child mascot, overwhelmed by being in the presence of cricket superstars, was seen crying before the start of the game.
“I thought if he is such a big fan of mine, I have the responsibility to gift him something,” Babar Azam said after gifting the child mascot his gloves.
It is worth noting here that the star batter enjoys a huge following fan not just in Pakistan, but around the world due to his batting skills.
In May this year, a female fan of Babar Azam announced that she would gift him a Mercedes if he scored a ton against England in the second T20 International.
