LONDON: In an unfortunate turn of events, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was seen lashing out at selfie-seeking fans for invading his privacy and later asked the security personnel to remove the fans away.
Babar Azam snapped at fans, who tried to mob him on the streets of Cardiff. A group of people got a glimpse of their favourite cricketer and started going towards him in the hope of selfies and greetings.
But Babar became uncomfortable and he lashed out, saying, “2 minute doge yaar, do minute doge? (Can you give 2 minutes).”

Although Babar was in protection of a couple of security personnel, he still looked irritated by constant requests for a meet-up and photo requests.
Later Babar addressed the fans, saying, “Mere upar nahi chadho, Baat kar raha hu, video banae jaa rahe ho (Don’t disturb me, I am speaking to someone and you are making a video.” He then walked away angrily.
Despite the initial outburst, Babar later demonstrated his usual grace by agreeing to take pictures with fans, which helped ease the situation. This act of goodwill highlighted his appreciation for his supporters, despite the overwhelming nature of the encounter.
