Pakistan cricket team skipper Babar Azam lost his temper as fans mobbed him for selfies and autographs in the streets of Cardiff ahead of the third T20I match against England.
The incident occurred while Babar and the entire Pakistani team were moving together, likely heading towards a team activity or practice session.
Babar Azam, one of the most popular cricketers globally, is accustomed to fans' adoration. However, this fame can sometimes become overwhelming. The situation in Cardiff was a testament to the latter, as the constant demand for pictures and autographs led to a rare moment of frustration for the Pakistani captain.
In a video uploaded on social media, Babar can be heard pleading with the crowd, saying, "Will you give me two minutes? Don’t come closer; give me two seconds." Despite his requests, the fans continued to pester him, leading him to call on security personnel to disperse the crowd.
It is worth noting that the Men in Green are scheduled to play the third match of the four-match T20I series against the home side today. The England team currently leads the series 1-0.
