Cricket fans were left amused—and some unimpressed—when Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam revealed that his “lost phone” story was actually a marketing stunt.
It all started when Babar tweeted, “I have lost my phone and contacts. Will get back to everyone as soon as I find it,” prompting concern among his followers. However, the buzz quickly turned into surprise when it was revealed to be a promotional gimmick for Ufone 4G.
Phone mil gaya and all your worries are greatly appreciated! 😁#DataBohhaaatHai @Ufone pic.twitter.com/O8aH36NKaj

While some fans found the move creative, others used the opportunity to troll the skipper. Social media was flooded with memes and sarcastic reactions. One user wrote, “Bad marketing stunt….,” while another tweeted, “Ab dkh k rkhna babar bhai.”
However, not all reactions were lighthearted. With Babar recently facing criticism for his inconsistent form, some fans advised him to focus on improving his game instead of participating in marketing stunts. “Form kab mily gi babar?,” one comment read. Another user wrote, “phone to mil gya, batting form allah jane kab milega.”
As Babar Azam gears up for future matches, the hope among fans is that he regains his top form. Whether this marketing move was a hit or miss, it certainly got people talking.
