Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is regarded as one of the finest batters in the contemporary cricket world owing to his excellent performance and calculated hits.
The right-handed top-order batsman has also received recognition from India, where he is included in a textbook. In the sports chapter of the eighth-grade Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) book, there is a query about the Pakistani player.
On social media, his supporters have extensively shared the textbook page and praised Mr. Azam, the top ODI batter in the world at the moment.
The question, which is based on the nicknames of cricketers, reads: “Cricket is the most loved game in India and the cricketers are celebrities. Do you know the nicknames of your favorite cricketers?”
The nickname of the skipper, ‘Bobby’, is also mentioned among the answers in the book.
The Indian textbook also includes stars like MS Dhoni, Chris Gayle of the West Indies, AB de Villiers of South Africa, and Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar.
