I have heard about Karachi Kings&#8217; fan following and I look forward to playing for them,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Babar is my favorite player and I have been following him for a long. It will be an opportunity for me to learn from him as much as I can in Karachi Kings,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-years-old cricketer shared that Babar has taken the place of Shahid Khan Afridi as one of the most followed cricketers in Afghanistan. &#8220;Earlier, it was Shahid Afridi, who was followed mostly in Pakistan. But, today everyone follows Babar, and people who play cricket, want to be like him,&#8221; he revealed.<\/p>\n<p>The young cricketer also disclosed that Wasim Akram used to back him a lot during a cricket league. &#8220;I worked with Wasim Bhai for two years in a league.
