Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam landed in a controversy after his alleged sext to a teammate’s girlfriend went viral. Though some called it fake, others claimed that rumours are true.
But now a Twitter user has claimed that the ‘scandal’ has no basis as it was a satirical tweet by him. The user named Dr Nimo Yadav dropped some chats and private videos, allegedly of the Pakistan captain, claiming them as a 'leak.'
Soon after the parodic Twitter account tweeted the chats, it went viral. Even it was run widely in the news globally. Now the user has clarified the matter.
“Babar Azam sexting with gf of another Pakistan cricketer and promising her that her bf won’t be out of team if she keeps sexting with him is just I hope allah is watching all this," the satirical tweet read.

The false claim also caught the attention of the cricketer himself. After this, Azam shared a cryptic post on Twitter saying, “Doesn’t take too much to be happy.”
