Babar said that the photoshoot was supposed to be “serious” and “aggressive”, however, the players burst into laughter during the pictures.

Ahead of the World Cup, pictures of both the captains laughing and having a good time together went viral and cricket fans absolutely loved them. They also became a source of good memes.

In a reel shared by International Cricket Council (ICC), Babar shared that those were “serious headshots”.

“We were looking at each other eye to eye. During such shoots, when one is looking at someone else continuously, we break into laughter at some point and that is what happened there,” said Babar.

The star player said that it was a funny moment while enjoying with each other.
