The world of cricket has been abuzz with an unexpected turn of events as Pakistani cricket captain Babar Azam found himself in the spotlight for a somewhat surprising reason just ahead of a crucial match against Bangladesh in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
According to sources close to the cricketing world, Azam made headlines by splurging an astounding seven lakh rupees on a designer sherwani, a traditional Indian outfit, for his upcoming wedding.
This news has taken many by surprise, especially considering the high-stakes nature of the tournament. The Pakistani team, once the World Champions in 1992, arrived in Kolkata just a day before their all-important clash against Bangladesh. It is uncommon for a team captain to engage in wedding shopping, especially during such a significant and pressure-laden tournament.
Babar Azam’s wedding is scheduled to take place at the end of this year, which makes the timing of his extravagant purchase all the more unexpected. Reportedly, Azam purchased the designer sherwani from none other than Sabyasachi, a renowned Indian designer known for their exquisite bridal and groom wear. The choice of this designer and the investment in such attire raised many eyebrows within the cricketing community.
In addition to the sherwani, Azam is said to have acquired jewelry worth a considerable sum from a jewelry-making company while enjoying the luxurious comforts of a five-star hotel. The extravagance surrounding his wedding preparations has left fans and cricket enthusiasts in awe but also pondering the impact of such activities on his game and focus.
