Pakistan Cricket Team received a warm and spirited welcome upon their arrival at the Hyderabad airport for the World Cup 2023 India, accompanied by tight security measures to ensure their safe passage to the team bus.
The fervent enthusiasm of fans, coupled with chants of "Babar Azam" and "Shaheen Afridi," created an electrifying atmosphere as the players made their way from the airport to the waiting bus.
Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, acknowledged the passionate crowd by waving and smiling at fans who affectionately called out "Babar Bhai."
The exchange between the skipper and his adoring supporters was a heartwarming sight, showcasing the deep connection for Pakistan team and their fans in India.
