The rivalry between Pakistan and Afghanistan has emerged as a prominent feud in cricket of late with players being involved in heated altercations in the past. But in the World Cup game between the Asian sides, a heartfelt moment involving Babar Azam and Mohammed Nabi created a lot of buzz online.

In the 2023 World Cup encounter between Pakistan and Afghanistan at Chepauk, the Men in Green won the toss and elected to bat first. Babar Azam, who was struggling to get amongst the runs, showed his class to register a sensational half-century. He notched up 74 runs off 92 balls on the spin-friendly surface and helped his team post 282 runs in 50 overs. During his well-compiled knock, the Pakistan skipper showed a beautiful gesture towards Afghan veteran Mohammed Nabi.

During his knock, Babar opened his gloves to tie his shoelaces at the non-striker’s end. While he was doing so, Nabi, who was in the middle of a brilliant spell, came to the Pakistan captain and tried to save the ace batter some trouble by kneeling down to tie the laces himself. However, Babar respectfully rejected Nabi’s assistance, turning away from him despite the Afghan’s insistence. Nabi could not help but break into a grin before patting his counterpart’s back in acknowledgment. This heartwarming gesture captured the attention of a lot of netizens as fans took to Twitter to hail the Pakistan captain’s gesture.

BROMANCE!

This what we love to watch in cricket!

This sport is something different!

Qualities of GOAT Babar!

If there was a highlight reel for a red-ball cricket match, the minute dramas that make the format interesting would never be spotted. The fact that the South African team failed to position a silly point due to a helmet crisis against Pakistan in Cape Town, could be an example to cite.

Rarely has Pakistan been short of explosive batsmen and perhaps never have they been lacking in an aspect in which even the associate nations excel. However, such was the case in recent times with the side managing no sixes in powerplays in 2023 until Abdullah Shafique ended the drought on Monday.
