Pakistan cricket team fans’ favourite, Babar Azam, once again caught everyone's attention in a viral video on ‘X’ showing him standing alone with his luggage among his married teammates as they prepared to depart for Australia for a Test series.

The video filmed at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore (AIIP), captured Babar Azam standing alone while the rest of the teammates, accompanied by their wives, were heading for departure to Sydney for the Test series.

The viral video features Shaheen Shah Afridi, Imam-ul-Haq, captain Shan Masood, and team director Mohammad Hafeez with their respective wives.

Drawing a humorous parallel, the video sparked comments reminiscent of Salman Khan's solo appearances at Indian award shows.
