Babar responded with a hearty laugh, playfully mentioning that he must have already told a hundred times that they had heard about and loved Hyderabadi biryani.

“I’ve already told 100 times. It was good, I had heard that Hyderabad’s biryani is good and we loved it,” replied the Lahore-born cricketer.

It’s worth emphasizing that this will be the inaugural experience for the 28-year-old cricketer to play in the vibrant cricketing atmosphere of the Indian subcontinent. There’s no denying that Babar has taken the centre stage and is eager to score a lot of runs in this prestigious ICC event, given his current status as the highest-ranked batter in the ODI formats.

With his exceptional skills and consistent performance, the right-handed batter’s presence adds an extra layer of anticipation to Pakistan’s journey in the tournament, promising captivating moments and unforgettable cricketing action.

Pakistan are all set to begin their ODI World Cup 2023 campaign on October 6 with their clash against the Netherlands at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad.
