Pakistan cricket team star batter Babar Azam has expressed anger at adults who were pushing children while trying to get his autograph.
The incident occurred when Babar was near the boundary during a BBL match, meeting fans and signing autographs.
A large number of children and adults were present, holding shoes, caps, posters, and mobile phones to get his autograph.
During the interaction, some adults began pushing the children from behind so they could reach Babar first.
Seeing the situation, Babar Azam raised his voice and told the adults to move back and allow the children to take autographs first. The children, who were chanting Babar’s name, became happy after hearing him.
Babar Azam’s gesture has been widely praised by fans and social media users.
Babar Azam’s stint with the Sydney Sixers in has turned parts of the BBL and SCG into “Babaristan,” with the Pakistani diaspora in Sydney flocking to games, waving Pakistan flags, and creating dedicated Babar fan zones that quickly sell out.
His signing has boosted Sixers’ social media reach and contributed to strong early‑season crowds and TV numbers, with club and league officials crediting his star power for a noticeable spike in interest among South Asian fans.
