Babar Azam refuses to let Nabi tie his shoelaces in gesture of respect

  • Babar asked Nabi to tie his shoelaces.
  • Babar reconsidered to avoid discomfort for Nabi.
  • Shows Babar’s respect and cricket camaraderie.

In a light-hearted moment during the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 game between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam politely requested former Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi to assist with tying his shoelaces.

However, Babar soon reconsidered, realizing that it might not be suitable for a seasoned player of Nabi’s stature to perform such a favor.

The amusing exchange took place as Nabi prepared to bowl following a drinks break. Upon noticing his untied shoelaces, Babar turned to Nabi and inquired if he could lend a hand. Nabi readily agreed and moved forward to offer his assistance. Nevertheless, Babar, a prominent figure in Pakistan’s batting lineup, soon recognized Nabi’s esteemed status in the cricketing world. Consequently, he decided it would not be appropriate for Nabi to bend down and tie his laces, preventing the Afghan spinner from completing the task.

The video capturing this incident has gained widespread attention on social media, with many fans lauding Babar’s humility and respect for his fellow players.

It is a testament to Babar’s character that he would show such deference to Nabi, even though the latter was simply trying to be helpful. It is also a reminder of the camaraderie that exists among cricketers from different countries, despite the intense rivalry that is often displayed on the field.
