In the video, Babar looked to further inspire his team that had just claimed the No. 1 spot in ICC ODI Rankings, having beaten Afghanistan 3-0 in the series.
The speech had shades of Shah Rukh Khan's speech from the 2007 Bollywood film 'Chak De India' where he focused on team unity. In the dialogues, Shah Rukh Khan, who played the character of the coach of the Indian women's hockey team, asked players to play for the country and not themselves.
