The statement regarding the lost phone of former national team captain Babar Azam has turned out to be a marketing stunt.
Babar Azam had shared on his Instagram story that he had lost or had his phone stolen. He informed his fans about the inconvenience, saying that his mobile phone was lost, along with all his contact numbers. However, now it has been revealed that this was just a marketing stunt.
Fans expressed their concern over Babar Azam’s post, assuring the cricketer not to worry.
Later, the former captain, while promoting a private company, stated that his phone had been found and appreciated everyone’s concern. He also included a laughing emoji in his post.
Some fans found the phone stunt amusing, while others criticized Babar Azam, advising him to focus on his form rather than engaging in theatrics.
One user commented that if Babar Azam had focused on his performance instead of pranks, Pakistan could have won the first match of the tri-series.
