This wholesome interaction between Babar Azam and his fan moved the internet to tears because how often do we find mentors encouraging their mentees the way Babar Azam has?

He's too wholesome man, I can't even imagine something like this from previous Pak players, you send something like this to Muhammad Asif & he's using your letter as a ashtray https://t.co/ccsx5foXl1

Show me any other International player who would do such a thing… And this is not new… Babar has done a similar thing before when he responded to an English sommerset cricket fanboy… The humility in this Pak team is what makes me proud to be a #Pakistan cricket team fanš https://t.co/xgdzatEnm8
