Babar Azam makes a 5-year-old's day after responding back to his handwritten note on Twitter

Be it cricket, football, hockey or tennis– one common factor between all sports across is the valuable relationship between fans and players. Fans are always considered as an integral part of any sport and every player forms a special connection with fans during his stint with a particular team.

One such incident showing the relationship between fans and players came out when Babar Azam– the star Pakistani batsman– made a young fan’s day by replying to him on Twitter. Somerset Cricket, on Thursday, had shared a handwritten note of 5-year-old Oscar, where he had heaped praises on the Pakistan star.

Babar Azam is Oscar’s favourite cricket player and proving so, the young lad had lauded the right-hander’s ability to hit sixes. Oscar had also recalled the instance when he had got the chance to meet Babar after his operation.

The Pakistan stalwart made sure that he appreciates the effort of his young fan by replying back with a heartwarming message. “Hey Oscar, thank you so much for such a kind note. I am so proud of you buddy. You are a rockstar. Study hard & play even harder champ! Look forward to meet you,” wrote the 25-year-old on Twitter.
