Steve Smith told Babar that he couldn’t bear Zimbabar, now his teammate Starc told him about lakhs of rupees.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket has always been called a ‘gentleman’s game’. Winning and losing, sledging and clash of eyes are part of the match, but when it comes to respect of a player, the real player is the one who calls wrong from wrong. Recently, what happened with Babar Azam and the reaction given by Australian players on it has won the hearts of cricket lovers. What happened after all? We all know that Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam is not in his best form at the moment. Recently, during a T-20 match, when Babar was fielding near the boundary, a group of fans started teasing him. Some people were trolling him by calling him “Zimbabar”. This was not good for anyone to see. But, the real news was that Australian legend Steve Smith standing nearby did not like all this at all. He expressed his displeasure by shaking his head and gestured to the fans that ‘this is not right’. Now Starc took the lead. Now Australia’s storm bowler Mitchell Starc has broken his silence on this entire matter. Starc has fully supported that reaction of Steve Smith. Starc says that Smith is a great person and he knows the dignity of the game. Starc made it clear in his talks that even if we are in the opposition team, misbehavior or unnecessary trolling with any player cannot be tolerated. He justified Smith’s action by saying that this is what makes Steve a leader. All this behavior of Mitchell Starc and Steve Smith is a strong message for the fans who buy tickets and go to the stadium just to humiliate the players. Babar Azam may have been the captain of the opposing team, but even the Australian players respect his class. To tell the truth, the real fun of cricket is only when the fight is with ball and bat, not with words and bad manners. Starc and Smith showed that they are not only good players but also great people. It is for this sporting spirit that we watch cricket, isn’t it?
