'Pakistan even lack superstars': Babar Azam brutally trolled after copying Pushpa pose

Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan's national cricket team, held a press conference ahead of his first match in the eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) where he answered questions from the media. During the conference, a picture of Babar went viral on social media, and a Pakistani media organization, Cricket Pakistan, compared his style to that of Indian movie star Allu Arjun. 

Cricket Pakistan shared a side-by-side image of Babar sitting similarly to Allu Arjun in a poster from the latter's superhit movie Pushpa: The Rise, commending the cricketer's swag. However, Indian fans did not appreciate the comparison and heavily criticized the Pakistani media outlet for putting Babar Azam and Allu Arjun in the same frame. One individual wrote that Allu Arjun will stop making movies if they again compare him with Babar Azam.
