Babar Azam gifts his gloves to a young fan
"He did the same thing today (against Canada). He was standing in the line and crying. We all have experienced this. When you meet a star, the excitement is at a different level," he added.
On being asked by Sanjana about his gesture of gifting the gloves to the fan, Babar stated that he got impressed by the dedication of his fan.
"I thought if he is such a big fan then I should also have some responsibility to give him something as a gift. Something memorable. I had my gloves in my hands. I gave him that. He got very excited and started crying even more. I told him not to worry. Then, while crying, he requested me to sign it," said Babar.
