Pakistan's captain across all formats, Babar Azam, known for his composed demeanor, showcased a humorous side during a pre-departure press conference ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023 in India.

During the press conference, a reporter asked Babar if he would ever sing for his fans. 

In response, Babar delivered a light-hearted quip, saying,

"Unhone already itni awaaz nikaal di hai, mai ghabra gaya ki meri awaaz kaha se chali gayi (They've already created many versions of my voice, and I was afraid of how my voice has changed)." 

In his reply, Babar was referring to AI-generated versions of his voice.

Coming to his professional front, In the year 2023, Babar has been sensational with the bat. In this ongoing year, he has accumulated 745 runs in 15 ODI innings at an impressive average of 49.67, including two centuries and six half-centuries. His overall record in one-day cricket is remarkable, with 5409 runs in 108 matches at a stellar average of 58.16. This includes 19 centuries and 28 half-centuries.

After a disappointing performance in the Asia Cup, where they finished at the bottom of the Super Four table, Pakistan will be eager to secure their first 50-over World Cup title since 1992. 

Their journey in the tournament will commence with warm-up matches, with the first scheduled for September 29 in Hyderabad and the second against Australia at the same venue on October 3.

The official World Cup campaign for Babar Azam and his team will kick off with a match against the Netherlands on October 6, followed by a clash against Sri Lanka on October 10, both taking place at the same venue.

Babar upbeat for the World Cup challenge 

The ODI World Cup 2023 poses a fresh challenge for Babar-the captain and batter. Despite his good record in the ICC events, this upcoming World Cup will be hosted in India, where he will be playing for the first time in his life.

This situation offers a distinct chance for him to showcase his skills in Indian conditions, serving as both a key batter and the captain of Pakistan. Observing how the experienced Babar adjusts to this unfamiliar environment and whether he can guide his team to victory will undoubtedly be a compelling storyline to follow.
