Pakistan ace batter Babar Azam has shared an inspirational story on his social media handle following Peshawar Zalmi’s triumph in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11.
Babar took to his Instagram handle to showcase a collage of photographs featuring young cricketers and fans.
“My motivation. If I can, you all can”, the caption of the story read.
The post comes after Peshawar Zalmi’s victory over Hyderabad Kingsmen in the PSL 11 final. Babar led his side to title glory, winning the PSL trophy for the first time as a captain. Moreover, this was Zalmi’s first trophy in nine years.
It is worth mentioning that Babar Azam served as a ball boy during the 2007 Test series between Pakistan and South Africa at Gaddafi Stadium. His journey is a symbol of determination and hard work. As a ball boy, the 31-year-old idolized South African batter AB de Villiers and took inspiration from him.
He also remained Pakistan U-19 captain and led Pakistan into the quarter-finals of the ICC World Cup.
Since making his debut in 2015 against Zimbabwe, Babar has become one of the top performers for the national team across all three formats.
Overall, he has played 346 matches for Pakistan, amassing 15463 runs at an average of 45, including 32 centuries and 106 fifties. He is also on the verge of breaking the record for the most ODI centuries for Pakistan, currently tied with Saeed Anwar at 20.
