"I met this kid during the India vs Pakistan match. After the anthem, he came to me and started crying. I got worried. I asked if anyone said anything to him. Then he said he is a fan," Babar told presenter Sanjana Ganeshan in an interview for ICC.
Pakistan captain revealed that the bot was seen doing the same when they were taking Canada.
"He did the same thing today (against Canada). He was standing in the line and crying. We all have experienced this. When you meet a star, the excitement is at a different level."
Babar comforted his little fan with a gift. He gifted his signed gloves to a young fan in New York.
"I thought if he is such a big fan then I should also have some responsibility to give him something as a gift. Something memorable. I had my gloves in my hands. I gave him that. He got very excited and started crying even more. I told him not to worry. Then, while crying, he requested me to sign it," Babar added.
Pakistan cricket team are currently struggling to qualify for the Super 8 in the ongoing tournament. To stay in the tournament, they are dependent on the results of other group matches. They will qualify if USA lost all of their matches in the World Cup.
