No. 236, News Alert : Pak skipper Babar Azam played matches despite mom being on ventilator. (ISL)

Hello. Greetings from Boonary TV. Today's news alert is, "Pak skipper Babar Azam played matches despite mom being on ventilator". The World Cup T20 tournament is on and Pakistan seems to be in good form. Pakistan has played three matches so far and all three times, it has had a winning streak. But, it wasn't as easy as you think for the captain Babar Azam. He was in distress during the matches. Why? Take a look. Recently, his father, Azam Siddiqui, revealed through a social media post that the mother of Pakistan captain was on a ventilator when the Men in Green defeated India. She had undergone a surgery. Taking to Instagram, Babar’s father revealed that the captain led his side to three consecutive victories ‘in severe distress’. “It’s time for my nation to know some truth. Congratulations to all of you on the victory in all the three games. There was a big test at our house. On the day the match was against India, on that day Babar’s mother was on a ventilator,” Azam Siddiqui wrote on Instagram. How was Azam after the match? Take a look. Babar, even though in emotional turmoil, took to encouraging his teammates after the match ended. On that day, he smashed an unbeaten 68 against India. Although a big reason for their victory, Azam reminded them of a few pointers to be kept in mind and to stay humble. Babar is captaining Pakistan for the first time in a global event and has done well so far even though deep down in his head, he was thinking and praying for his mother's recovery. Another instance was of Sachin Tendulkar who went ahead and played the World Cup match even , though he had lost his father in death.
