The event, which happened during Pakistan’s current T20 World Cup practice tour of England, has generated a lot of discussion and interest on social media.
A visibly agitated Babar Azam is seen in the Cardiff-shot video being harassed by a group of fans who want to snap pictures and say hello.
The cricket player was uncomfortable with the fans’ constant pursuit, even with security guards present, and demanded solitude and space. “Can you give 2 minutes?” The sound of Babar Azam’s irate cry can be heard as fans crowded around.
Then, clearly unhappy, Babar Azam asked the fans to keep their distance and stated that he was uncomfortable with the state of affairs. He said, “Mere upar nahi chadho, Baat kar raha hu, video banae jaa rahe ho,” expressing his wish to be left alone.
