Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistani cricket team, was recently featured in an eighth-grade ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education) textbook.

The ICSE textbook depicts Babar’s image alongside some of India’s most renowned cricketers, including Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni.

Fans of Pakistani cricket have been ecstatic about Babar’s incorporation in the textbook, which they view as further evidence of his worldwide popularity.

A question in the textbook instructs students to match the nicknames of cricketers with their respective players. The inclusion of Babar’s nickname “Bobby” demonstrates his stature as one of the greatest cricketers of his era and his growing popularity beyond Pakistan’s borders.

Babar has been mentioned in a textbook previously. A query regarding his renowned cover drive was included in a Pakistani Grade 9 Physics textbook last year. Students were asked to compute the speed of a cricket ball after it was struck by Babar’s cover drive, given the kinetic energy transferred to the ball. This question was extensively shared on social media, highlighting once again that Babar is one of the most exciting cricketers of his generation.

Babar’s increasing popularity extends beyond textbooks. The prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year 2022 was recently awarded to him. This award recognized his outstanding performances in all three game formats, solidifying his status as one of the world’s greatest cricketers.

Overall, the inclusion of Babar in an eighth-grade Indian textbook is a significant accomplishment that demonstrates his growing popularity and status as one of the greatest cricketers in the world. It is a testament to his talent and perseverance and will inspire a new generation of cricket enthusiasts in Pakistan and India.
