Babar Azam Dismisses Rumors of Shopping Spree in India

Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam has strongly refuted recent media reports suggesting that he embarked on a lavish shopping spree in India while participating in the World Cup. The rumors claimed that Azam, rumored to tie the knot in December, purchased an extravagant sherwani from Sabyasachi, a renowned Indian design label, and also acquired gold jewelry for his future spouse. However, Saya Corporation, the agency representing Pakistani cricketers, vehemently denied these allegations and urged media outlets to conduct thorough fact-checking.

Contradictory Reports Amidst Babar Azam Wedding Speculations

Contrary to rumors, Babar Azam denies purchasing a sherwani worth Indian rupees 700,000 and gold jewelry for his rumored December wedding from the popular Indian design label Sabyasachi. The Pakistani captain, set to tie the knot at the year-end of 2023, has pushed back against these speculative reports. As the speculations unfold, Babar Azam remains focused on leading his team in the World Cup, aiming to overcome not only on-field challenges but also navigate the external distractions that come with being in the public eye.

Team’s Struggle with “Room Sickness”

The controversy surrounding Babar’s alleged shopping spree stands in stark contrast to the Pakistani cricket team’s challenges during their World Cup tour in India. Bowler Hasan Ali highlighted the team’s battle with fever and flu, attributing it in part to the strict confinement to their rooms. Team director Mickey Arthur echoed these sentiments, describing the tight security cover as stifling for the players, reminiscent of the challenging COVID times.
