Pakistan’s star batter and skipper Babar Azam won the hearts of fans by gifting gloves to an emotional child mascot after his team’s victory over Canada in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024.
A child mascot, overwhelmed by being in the presence of cricket superstars, was seen crying before the start of Pak vs Canada match.
A picture of Babar consoling and hugging him soon went viral on social media.
“I met this kid during the India vs Pakistan match. After the anthem, he came to me. He was excited and suddenly started crying. So I got worried. But he said I am a fan. He did the same thing today. He was crying, standing in the line. We all have experienced this, when you meet a star, the excitement is at a different level,” Babar said in a video posted by ICC.
