Amid the harsh criticism surrounding his captaincy and the team’s performance, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has embroiled in fresh controversy as his private videos, intimate chats and voice recordings involving a girl have allegedly leaked online.

The video's authenticity hasn't been confirmed but the allegedly viral clip of Babar created quite a stir on social media.

As per several reports and tweets, Babar was 'sexting' with the girlfriend of another Pakistan cricketer, assuring her of her boyfriend's place in the Pakistan side if she continued to chat.

While Babar Azam is yet to break his silence on this matter, he seems to be unaffected by the social media backlash.

On Monday (January 16), Pakistan’s all-format captain took to Twitter and Instagram to share his picture with a one-line caption: "Doesn't take too much to be happy."

Babar's post garnered a number of comments, with fans showing their support and urging him to stay strong.

Talking about Babar Azam, he is already the scanner for Pakistan’s recent defeats at home against England and New Zealand.

While Pakistan suffered a 3-0 whitewash at the hands of England in the Test series last month, they played out a 0-0 drawn Test series against New Zealand before losing the ODI series 2-1 to Kiwis.
