Babar Azam (Source - Twitter)
Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam got featured in a class 8th Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) book in India. Amid the bad relations between India and Pakistan, this news is quite shocking. Interestingly, Pakistan's celebrities and sports personalities are not allowed in India.
Babar's name was included in a question. It was a matching question in which the students were asked to match 10 cricketers with their nicknames, the question was as follows- โCricket is the most loved game in India and the cricketers are celebrities. Do you know the nicknames of your favorite cricketers?โ
The question included AB de Villiers, Sachin Tendulkar, Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni along with Babar. The right-handed Pakistani batter is popularly known as 'Bobby' in Pakistan as it is his nickname. India vs Pakistan is one of the biggest rivalries in cricket but the fans rarely get to witness the thrilling contest as they have stopped playing against each other in the bilateral series due to political issues.
Where there is love from people, there is criticism as well: Wahab Riaz
Meanwhile, Pakistan veteran left-arm fast Wahab Riaz bowler talked about Babar's harsh reactions to the criticism and trolls by the fans and cricket pundits. He advised him to focus on his game and should take the criticism positively. He said that it's a part of every cricketer's career.
"It is a part and parcel of life. Where there is love from people, there is criticism as well. People should also understand such things that if Babar needs some improvement at any point, then he should work on it, because in cricket it's a learning process for you every day."
"No one is perfect at any point, so we pointed out the mistakes made by Babar and if he trying to overcome them, then hats off to him as this will bring more improvement in his game," Riaz concluded
Here's how fans reacted:
