Babar Azam, along with Mohammad Rizwan, led the Pakistan team to a historic 10-wicket win against India in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup.
The win was historic because until now Pakistan had not won any match against India at any World Cup. Following this memorable victory, Azam’s father became visibly emotional.
Azam Siddique broke into tears. The entire scene was captured on the camera where he was being congratulated by fans and he couldn’t control his tears.
This is Babar Azam’s father. So happy for him. I first met him in 2012 at Adnan Akmal’s walima. Babar at that time was 3 years away from Pakistan debut. I clearly remember what his father told me “bas debut ho jane do. Agay sara maidaan babar ka hai” pic.twitter.com/ZlsvODQkSg

There was a time when the Akmal family used to lend Babar their used kits but ALLAH had other plans.

Saara maidan waqai @babarazam258 ka hai! What a proud moment for his father. Babar has crushed several records with numerous match winning performances but we all know today was special. Uncle jee thank u from Pakistan for being a great father & believing in him before we all did https://t.co/tp9AczrQQh

Look how proud he is. Emotional moment for him to see his son winning it for the country and how. This certainly makes me a little less sad for today's loss.
