The ODI World Cup will start in a few days and on October 5th, defending champions England will take on New Zealand at Narendra Modi Stadium. Meanwhile, the Pakistan cricket team has reached India for the anticipated tournament and the captain of the side, Babar Azam is mesmerised by seeing the welcome of his team by the fans and authority at the Airport.
Babar Azam and his team arrived in Hyderabad with stringent security measures at the airport. Fans were thrilled to catch a glimpse of the Pakistan cricket team players, and Babar shared his happiness by posting a picture on his Instagram account.
While posting a picture on his Instagram, Babar Azam wrote, “Overwhelmed with the love and support here in Hyderabad.”
Before it, Shaheen Shah Afridi praised the Indian fans for their warm and welcoming reception of the Pakistani cricketers.
Babar Azam recently participated in a press conference before the team’s departure from India. During the media interaction, the Pakistan captain expressed his team’s ambition to win the title in India and talked about their goal to secure the championship rather than making it into the semifinal or final.
Pakistan Cricket Team had a poor performance in the Asia Cup where they did not reach the final. Not only this, the team also lost their No.1 rank in the ICC Men’s ODI Ranking. Now India has pushed Pakistan down to claim the top spot.
Pakistan will have its first encounter against the Netherlands on October 6 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
