Pakistan’s cricket captain, Babar Azam, found himself in an uncomfortable situation in Cardiff as he was surrounded by a group of selfie-seeking fans.
The incident, which occurred during Pakistan’s ongoing T20I series in England, saw Babar visibly frustrated by the lack of personal space afforded to him by the crowd.
In a video that has since gone viral, Babar Azam can be seen asking the fans to give him some space, saying, “Can you give 2 minutes?” Despite being accompanied by security personnel, the cricket star seemed overwhelmed by the relentless crowd. His irritation was palpable as he addressed the fans: “Mere upar nahi chadho, Baat kar raha hu, video banae jaa rahe ho.”
The episode has ignited discussions on social media about the pressures faced by athletes in their public lives. While fans’ enthusiasm is a testament to Babar Azam’s popularity, this incident underscores the need for respecting the personal boundaries of public figures.
