(Web Desk Monitoring) — Renowned South African cricketer AB de Villiers recently engaged in a conversation with Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan’s cricket team.

During their discussion, they talked about Babar’s remarkable career, his journey in cricket, and the upcoming T20 World Cup.

During this conversation, a social media user criticized Babar Azam for his English-speaking skills, a common issue faced by many Pakistani cricketers online. The comment aimed to mock Babar for not being fluent in English.

AB de Villiers responded to the criticism in a supportive and respectful manner. He remarked, “Babar’s English is infinitely better than my Urdu,” pointing out that while Babar’s English might not be perfect, it surpasses de Villiers’ ability to speak Urdu. This remark effectively silenced the troll and redirected the focus to Babar’s cricketing talent rather than his language skills.

Fans widely appreciated de Villiers’ response, as it emphasized the importance of respecting players for their skills and contributions to the sport rather than judging them based on their fluency in a particular language. His comment also highlighted that language should not be a barrier in recognizing and appreciating talent.

This interaction between AB de Villiers and Babar Azam serves as a reminder that cricket, as a global sport, brings together players from diverse backgrounds and languages. The primary focus should always be on their performance on the field and their contributions to the game.
