Out-of-favour Pakistan batter Babar Azam on Saturday posted a video of himself cooking in the kitchen on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. Notably, Babar completed each step slowly and gradually in a 1-minute video, where he was spotted preparing a traditional sweet on the auspicious day.
The video attracted a lot of reactions, which displayed Babar cooking “seviyan” (vermicelli) to make the classic “sheer khurma”.
Captioning the video as his “sweet Eid signature,” Babar’s video received mixed reactions from the fans. Check out the reactions here:

I hope he cooks better than he picks a playing XI, otherwise that Eid biryani is going to have four openers and absolutely no spice in the middle

Babar was able to accumulate just 91 runs in four innings at an average of 22.75 and a strike rate of 112.34, with a best score of 46.
Beyond his difficulties in T20Is, the former Pakistan skipper also saw his ODI form dip in 2025, managing 544 runs across 17 innings at an average of 34.
