The spirit of sportsmanship shone through when AB de Villiers shut down a social media troll mocking Babar Azam's English fluency.
This incident occurred in the comments section of a YouTube video where de Villiers interviewed Azam. An Indian viewer left a comment implying de Villiers was struggling to hold back laughter at Azam's English.
De Villiers, known for his grace on and off the field, delivered a dignified response. He pointed out that Azam's English is far better than his own Urdu, and more importantly, Azam's exceptional batting is what truly matters.
This exchange highlights the unnecessary negativity that can sometimes creep into online sports conversations. De Villiers' response emphasizes that a player's skill on the field is paramount, regardless of their native language.
Babar Azam is a leading batsman in contemporary cricket, often compared to the Indian legend Virat Kohli for their similar playing styles. He captains the Pakistan national team and will be leading them in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
