22-year-old Shaheen, after being hit for a boundary by Babar, bounced back strongly by bowling an exceptional in-swinging delivery to rattle the stumps of Pakistan captain.

"Babar, you always meet everyone with a smiling face but tomorrow you face Shaheen Shah Afridi," the reporter had said before Babar interrupted.

"To ro kar milein unhein? Kya kare, nahi khele fir? Aap bataye...(Should I cry and meet him, or should I not play? Please tell me...)," Babar said in response, leaving everyone in splits.

“Whether we play against Shaheen and Lahore, the effort is always to give the best. The kind of bowler that he is and the way he is bowling presently, everyone knows that he is one of Pakistan’s best bowlers. He is improving day-by-day. Playing against him is a challenge and also gives me confidence, since I am playing the best bowler. It is difficult at times. Sometimes I dominate, sometimes he does," Babar explained.
