As soon as the Sixers made the announcement on social media, netizens were quick enough to express their views, and a section of users also trolled the franchise for calling Babar 'King'.

One user wrote, ''SIXERS aur susti ki dukaan.'' ''Meri hassi nhi rukri ye sab dkh ke,'' wrote another. A user commented, ''Time to change the Name to Sydney Singles.''

''It's an exciting opportunity to play in one of the world's best T20 leagues and to be a part of such a successful and respected franchise. I'm looking forward to contributing to the team's success, building a strong connection with the fans, and sharing this experience with my friends, family and supporters at home in Pakistan,'' Babar Azam said after signing Sydney Sixers.

For those unversed, Babar will be joining Steve Smith and Josh Philippe in the Sydney Sixers' squad. In the recently concluded 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Babar scored just 288 runs in 10 matches while leading Peshawar Zalmi.
