Babar Azam, who made it to the news after he bought Sherwani and jewellaries for his wedding after the ICC World Cup 2023, has again paid a visit to the south Calcutta mall ahead of the England match, where he bought seven saris.
Babar Azam, who was accompanied by his teammate and friend, Imam-ul-Haq, made a video call to his family in Pakistan, before finalising the saris. He made a lengthy video call to discuss the saris with them. Notably, the duo spent almost two hours exploring the South City Mall.

The employee at the Soch store told The Telegraph that Azam was impressed with their collection but wanted the women in his family to give the final approval. As a result, he had a detailed discussion with them via WhatsApp video call.
Babar and Imam were accompanied by heavy security, including police and guards, which prevented fans from getting autographs or photos with the players. Police sources familiar with the protocol for the Pakistan contingent clarified that the players could not interact with fans due to safety protocols.
Interestingly, the mall authorities learned about the visit only 15 minutes before the players arrived. Earlier Babar bought a seven lakh Sabyasachi Sherwani and also some jewellaries. Talking about Pakistan, they have virtually crashed out of the tournament.
