The National Bank Stadium witnessed an unsettling moment as the crowd directed taunts towards Imad Wasim. The chants of ‘Babar Babar’ reverberated through the stadium.
The chants echoed every time Imad was fielding near the boundary line.
Shabad spoke up in favor of Imad in a post-match conference, saying: “I haven’t had such a conversation with Maddy bhai, but if such a thing were to happen to me, it would be saddening because playing and performing for Pakistan for such a long time, and then crowd doing such things makes you feel like, ‘I’ve played for this country, I’ve won matches and our people treat us like this,’ so it does feel bad,” said Shadab.
