Pakistan had defeated India in their first match of the T20 World Cup 2021 by 10 wickets.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam's mother was on a ventilator when he led his team to their first-ever win in the ICC World Cup event against India in Dubai. Pakistan have now won all their three matches in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021.
Babar had scored an unbeaten 68 while chasing 152 against India as they won the match by 10 wickets. The Pakistan skipper's father Azam Siddiqui, on Saturday (October 30), revealed it on his Instagram account through a post.

"It's time for my nation to know some truth. Congratulations to all of you on the victory in all three games. There was a big test at our house. On the day the match was against India, on that day Babar's mother was on a ventilator," Siddiqui wrote on Instagram.
"Babar played all three matches in severe distress. I don't want to come here. It was supposed to be, but I came so that Babar may not get weak. It is by the grace of God that he is fine now," he added.
After defeating India, Pakistan beat New Zealand and Afghanistan to almost step into the semi-final. "The purpose of sharing is to not criticise our national heroes without any reason. And yes, I know, if I don't get paradise. If you get a position, you have to give exams too. Long live Pakistan," Siddiqui said.
