Babar Azam violates road regulations

According to the Times of Karachi report, Babar Azam was recently found violating road regulations. He went overboard the highway’s speed limit while driving his Audi eTron GT car, and eventually had to be stopped by the authorities from the Punjab Motorway Police.

While the cricketer has been subsequently fined for his highway misconduct, the amount has not been officially unveiled to the public.
