Babar will become PM if they win the World Cup: Gavaskar

Pakistan’s mission in this year’s T20 World Cup began with a defeat against arch-rival India. The team led by Babar Azam fell into fear of exit before the semi-finals after losing against Zimbabwe in their second match.

From that difficult situation, Pakistan defeated the Netherlands, and South Africa in two consecutive matches. Their last match in the group stage was against Bangladesh. That morning the match was South Africa-Netherlands. It was assumed that the Proteas would go to the semi-finals with India after winning that match against a relatively weak opponent, the Netherlands.

But bad luck for South Africa. They were knocked out of the semi-final race after losing against relatively weak opponents like the Netherlands.

As the Proteas lost against the Netherlands, the equation became easier for Bangladesh-Pakistan. Those who win this match are sure of the semi-finals. In such an even match, Pakistan went to the semi-finals. And Babar Azam’s team defeated New Zealand in the semi-final and went to the final.

India’s legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar was impressed by Pakistan’s eye-catching performance. He said, “If Pakistan wins the World Cup this time, Babar Azam will be the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He will become the Prime Minister of Pakistan in 2048.”
Pakistan had the same situation in 1992 as this World Cup. The team led by Imran Khan became the World Cup champion for the first time, dispelling fears of his service’s departure. After that World Cup, Imran Khan became a hero overnight. After that, he left cricket and joined politics and became the Prime Minister of Pakistan after 26 years. As such, Gavaskar sees Babar as the Prime Minister of Pakistan in 2048.
