Vikrant Gupta – who has praised Pakistan’s performance throughout the regional championships – talked about his request in an interview. The journalist said it happened during a training session.
He recalled the sound of his bat standing out from the rest.
“Babar Azam seemed very fluent in the nets and the sound of the ball hitting his bat was different from the others,” he said. “So after the nets, I stopped Babar Azam and asked him for his signed bat. I told him that I specifically wanted the bat he plays with. Now let’s see if he gives me his bat.”
He responded negatively when the interviewer asked him if he had asked India batter Virat Kohli for his bat.
