Pakistani cricket captain Babar Azam found himself in the spotlight when he posted a tweet that included an error noticed by many online. This incident led the batter to quickly amend his post.
On July 12, during his farewell game against the West Indies at Lord’s, James Anderson retired from international cricket. Tributes poured in from all corners of the world, with past and present cricketers wishing the England legend well. Among them was Babar Azam, who posted a tweet to join the chorus of well-wishers. However, eagle-eyed netizens spotted a mistake in his tweet, which quickly garnered widespread attention, prompting Babar to correct his post.
In his original message, Babar mentioned that he felt privileged to face Anderson’s “cutters,” instead of correctly highlighting the bowler’s expertise in “swing.” Realizing the error after it caught the attention of many, Babar edited and reposted the tweet. For those unfamiliar, the seasoned English pacer, renowned for his exceptional swing bowling, has an illustrious career, particularly in England. His skill in utilizing overcast conditions earned him the nickname “cloud puller.”
