“ABD hardly control his laughing. Babar Azam speaking in English,” the Indian fan had written in the comments.
De Villiers quickly responded to shutdown the troll. He said: “His English is infinitely better than my Urdu. And his batting is excellent, which is what matters more, I believe.”
In his conversation with De Villiers, Babar Azam also discussed his early life and the beginnings of his cricketing journey.
“My family played a big role because, when I started out, we did not have a lot of money. We were not like a rich family. When I started out, I played state cricket and played tennis ball cricket and tape-ball cricket every Saturday night. We used to be 2 teams and play together. After sometime, I told my father I wanted to start professional cricket, so he said ok, let us do it. So it was very difficult when I began my professional cricket journey,” Babar said.
The Pakistan skipper also talked about his future during the interview with the South African legend. “I am just taking one day at a time, I am not thinking where I am going, or which age I would stop myself,” he said.
