Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim seemingly referred to cricket fans in Pakistan while stating that people feel weird when Virat Kohli is praised by someone. "I have always said that Kohli's greatness is more than Babar Azam," he said. Wasim was recently taunted with "Babar Babar" chants by fans during a PSL 2024 match between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi.
