In a close-knit interaction with his followers on the social media platform ‘X’, ex-Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam has shared various poignant moments from his distinguished career and his future ambitions.

Reflecting on key moments, Azam shared, “There have been many emotional moments. When I made my debut was one of them, while becoming captain was an emotional moment too. But, the loss against Zimbabwe in the World Cup was heartbreaking,” Babar said.

The erstwhile captain proceeded to spotlight some of his cherished innings, stating, “My century in Brisbane against Australia in 2019 and the 196-run knock in the second Test against Australia in Karachi in 2022 are my favorites in Tests. In white-ball cricket, 158 against England in Birmingham and T20I centuries against South Africa and New Zealand hold a special place in my heart,” he said.

Articulating his commitment to representing Pakistan on the international stage, Azam stated, “I want to play in every upcoming World Cup and help Pakistan win.”

During the conversation, the right-handed batsman was asked about the player with the most graceful cover drive, to which he quickly responded, “Steve Smith.”

When questioned about his dream batting partner, Azam disclosed, “Ab De Villiers is always my dream batting partner. I have played against him but not with him.”

In an unexpected twist, former South African captain Ab de Villiers also participated in the conversation on social media platform ‘X,’ responding to Babar Azam’s dream batting partner selection. De Villiers said, ‘Would have loved to bat with u too my man.’”

The 29-year-old also revealed a part of his life before his cricket fame, saying, “I have worked as a laborer as well. I used to work in the morning and later do net practice. Theses are stages of life which give you lessons.”

In an unforeseen event, Mohammad Rizwan enters Babar Azam’s X-space with a light-hearted comment. Rizwan jokingly asks, “Kaptaan, when is your wedding?” To which Babar replies, “I knew you would ask this question. I’ll answer you privately.”
