Babar Azam gets featured in sports section of eighth grade ICSE textbook

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam featured in the sports section of an Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) textbook. The flamboyant cricketer was part of the eighth-grade textbook which has taken the internet by storm.

Notably, the question on which Babar featured was- “Cricket is the most loved game in India and the cricketers are celebrities. Do you know the nicknames of your favourite cricketers?” The answers had to be marked in the 'match the following' exercise in which numerous cricketing personalities made it to the list.

From AB de Villiers to India legend Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni to Virat Kohli, all were part of the ‘column A’ which also interestingly included Pakistan skipper Babar. In the second column (B), students were asked to match their respective nicknames.
