“Just talked to Babar, he was not able to talk”,- Babar Azam’s father Azam Siddiqui quotes a emotional post for his son after Pakistan gets eliminated from Asia Cup 2023.

In a nail-biting encounter at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, Pakistan faced a heart-wrenching two-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka during the fifth Super 4 fixture of the Asia Cup 2023 on Thursday, September 14. The match concluded in dramatic fashion as Charith Asalanka managed to score six crucial runs off the last two balls, propelling Sri Lanka into the tournament’s final.

Babar Azam, leading the Pakistani side, saw his team fall agonizingly short in a match that went down to the wire. The last-ball victory by Sri Lanka left Pakistan and their fans crestfallen, as they narrowly missed out on advancing to the final of the prestigious tournament.

In the aftermath of Pakistan’s unexpected exit from the Asia Cup 2023, Babar Azam’s father, Azam Siddiqui, took to his official Instagram account to share a heartfelt statement. He revealed that his son, Babar, was deeply affected by the loss and was unable to find the words to express his emotions in the immediate aftermath of the match.

Babar Azam Father Wrote “Salam Pakistan. Pakistan played the whole match with half the players and lost on the last ball with a four of a flock. But in this match, I have been shown a total superstar bowler Zaman Khan, who was bowling very well even in high pressure. Win or lose game. It is a part of the team, but the team played the whole competition despite being in half.”

“Inshallah, when everyone is fit in the World Cup, it will be fun to see the competitions. Allah only sees what happens with intention and action from the heart. Whether he accepts it or not, He is my Lord. I think the team has sacrificed their lives. Let’s encourage the team at this time and make their hearts big. This is patriotism. Long live Pakistan. (I just talked to Babar, he was not able to talk. I told him, “Braves live or learn.” Never break).”
