Heartwarming Video Goes Viral: Babar Azam Refuses To Let Senior Mohammad Nabi Tie His Shoe Lace – WATCH
In a heartwarming incident during the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 match between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Babar Azam, Pakistan’s captain, exhibited a touching gesture of respect towards former Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi.
The hilarious moment between Babar and Nabi when the latter came in to bowl after the drinks break. Babar realised that his shoelaces were untied so he looked at Nabi and asked him if he could tie it for him.
Nabi promptly agreed and came forward to help Babar. But the Pakistan batting star realised that Nabi is one of the most senior cricketers in the world and it wouldn’t look nice if he touched Babar’s feet while tying the laces.
Nabi had even bent down to oblige but Babar turned his foot away and didn’t let the Afghan spinner tie his laces. The video of this incident is going viral on social media.
King is King👑🔥

Babar Azam was the top-scorer with 74 (92), which featured four fours and a solitary six. The Pakistani skipper came back to form and hogged the internet for his knock.
The fans hailed and appreciated Babar’s act for Mohammad Nabi. Talking about Babar, he was struggling for form in this tournament as he registered just one fifty before this match that too came against India.
Afghanistan produced their second stunning win of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 to beat Pakistan for the first time ever in a men’s ODI, winning by eight wickets in Chennai.
Set a target of 283 to win, Afghanistan’s top three all hit half-centuries as they produced a high-quality run chase to reach the target with eight wickets in hand and an over to spare.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz set the tempo early with a 53-ball 65 alongside fellow opener Ibrahim Zadran (87), before the excellent Rahmat Shah and Hashmatullah Shahidi finished the job with crucial contributions of 77* and 48* respectively.
Pakistan would have been happy enough with a total of 282/7 after being put under big pressure by Afghanistan’s four-pronged spin attack, led by the impressive Noor Ahmad (3/49).
Afghanistan beat Pakistan by eight wickets
Afghanistan’s dangerous openers let fly at the start of the chase, scoring 60 runs without loss in the opening powerplay to give the side the start they needed before spin could really play a part.
Afghanistan’s win over England was special but this really is even better, knocking off their biggest rival for the first time. They’ve done it with an over to spare by eight wickets – a clinical chase, brilliantly set it up. Scenes!
49 overs: Afghanistan 286-2 (Rahmat 77, Hashmat 48) Target 283.
