Pakistan’s star cricketer and former captain Babar Azam has once again demonstrated why he is beloved by fans worldwide. During his time in Australia playing for the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League, Babar made a young fan’s day by gifting him his batting gloves in a heartwarming gesture that quickly went viral on social media.
The touching moment was captured on video outside the cricket ground where Babar stood wearing his Sydney Sixers jersey with his kit bag. A young boy approached the cricketer, accompanied by an adult who asked Babar to give some advice to the child. Instead of just offering words of wisdom, Babar went above and beyond expectations.
Responding with simplicity and warmth, Babar said, “What advice? Just enjoy life!” He then opened his kit bag and gifted his batting gloves to the young fan, leaving the child visibly excited and thrilled by the unexpected gesture. The spontaneous act of kindness showed Babar’s genuine connection with his supporters and his understanding that such moments create lifelong memories for young cricket enthusiasts.
The video spread rapidly across social media platforms, with fans praising Babar for his humility and affection towards supporters. Many commented that this act perfectly reflects his character and why he remains one of the most popular sporting personalities in Pakistan and beyond.
This generous gesture comes while Babar is performing well in the BBL tournament. He recently scored a half-century of 58 runs off 42 balls against Sydney Thunder, hitting five boundaries and two sixes. His composed innings significantly strengthened the Sixers’ batting lineup.
Babar has consistently shown such kindness throughout his career, from gifting gloves to emotional young fans during the T20 World Cup to presenting his test jersey to supporters after victories.
