Pakistan captain Babar Azam‘s father Azam Siddiqui revealed that the Pakistan skipper’s mother was on a ventilator while he was playing and leading his team to victory against India’s in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in UAE. The right-handed batter scored an unbeaten 68 in Dubai but his heart was with his mother, who was put on ventilator support following surgery.
Babar Azam has made a quiet stir in the ongoing T20 World Cup with his batting and leadership and under his captaincy, the team is yet to lose a game in the tournament and the skipper himself has been in a rich vein of form. So far, he has smashed two half-centuries and scored a total of 128 runs in three games.
Babar Azam’s father has posted a big message on his Instagram account saying that the Pakistan captain played all three World Cup games “in severe distress”. He wrote – “It’s time for my nation to know some truth. Congratulations to all of you on the victory in all three games. There was a big test at our house. On the day the match was against India, that day Babar’s mother was on a ventilator. Babar played all three matches in severe distress. I don’t want to come here. It was supposed to be, but I came so that Babar may not get weak. It is by the grace of God that he is fine now. The purpose of sharing is to not criticise our national heroes without any reason. And yes, I know, if I don’t get paradise. If you get a position, you have to give exams too. Long live Pakistan.”
