Pakistani cricketer Imam-ul-Haq’s bromance with former captain Babar Azam is winning hearts on internet.
Ahead of their upcoming Test series in Australia, the left-handed batter made sure to let his friend know that he hasn’t forgotten him after his wedding.
For the unversed, Imam-ul-Haq tied the knot with his girlfriend Mehmood, reportedly a medical student, on November 25.
After a few days from his marriage celebration, Imam posted a series of pictures of him and Babar on X.
In his post, the cricketer wrote, “Shaadi toh gai, but dekh lo bhula nahi mein @babarazam258 (I didn’t forget you after marriage).”

Several fans have reacted to the wonderful relationship shared between the two Pakistani cricketers. One fan jokingly said that the duo dressed in their green fits represented the armed forces.
He wrote, “Wing commander Imam Ul-Haq, Air commodore Babar Azam”.

Babar and Imam are known to be close friends.
The recent ODI World Cup didn’t go as per the plans for Pakistan.
Imam’s poor show saw him being dropped from the playing XI midway through the tourney.
It wasn’t a memorable tournament for Babar either.
Pakistan failed to make it to the top-four and following that, Babar stepped down as the captain from all three formats.
The upcoming Test series between Pakistan and Australia is set to begin on December 17 under the leadership of Shan Masood.
