'Lagta hai saaron ne Imam ko sar pe chadha rakha hai' - Babar Azam's hilarious reply after reporter addresses him as Imam: WATCH

Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan men's cricket team, led his side to a phenomenal 4-1 ODI series victory against New Zealand at home on Friday night. However, a hilarious incident took place at the post-match press conference which had everyone in stitches.

As the reporter was about to question the Pakistan captain about their series win, he made a blunder by calling him "Imam" instead of Babar. Quick to correct the mistake, Babar Azam chuckled and corrected the reporter, which sparked laughter from everyone in the press conference.

But Babar didn't stop there, and in a witty remark, he quipped, "Lagta hai saaro ne Imam ko na sar par chadha liya hai (It seems like everyone has taken Imam to their head)." This comment left everyone amused and further accentuated the light-hearted moment.

Here's the hilarious video:

The 28-year-old captain has been in sensational form with the bat and led his team brilliantly throughout the series. The fact that he was able to have a laugh at himself and make light of the reporter's mistake, shows his humble and light-hearted nature.

Babar Azam has emerged as one of the most consistent batsmen in world cricket, and under his leadership, the Pakistan team will hope to continue their winning ways. However, for now, they can revel in the joy of a series victory and the moment of light-hearted banter at the press conference.

Babar Azam on Imam-ul-Haq's cryptic tweet:

Pakistan batter Imam-ul-Haq was dropped from the team for the last two ODI matches against New Zealand. After his exclusion, the left-handed batter took to Twitter and posted a cryptic tweet that read, "Life is an unexpected journey so never expect anything from anyone." Be Patient, Allah is watching!"

“Life is an unexpected journey so never expect anything from anyone”. Be patient, Allah is watching❗️

When quizzed about Imam-ul-Haq's tweet, Azam said, "I haven't checked my mobile and don't know what Imam has tweeted. There are no disgruntled players in our team and the unity is good. We try to resolve our matters within ourselves and not take them out."

Pakistan moved to Rank 1 in the ODI rankings after winning the fourth match, but a loss in the 5th match has dropped them to 3rd after Australia and India.
