Pakistan-born superfan of Pakistan cricket team, Bashir Chacha was spotted cheering for Babar Azam and Co. by raising the Pakistan flag during PAK vs AUS World Cup warm-up game in Hyderabad on Tuesday. The match also saw Pakistan’s national song ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ being played during the game.
Bashir Chacha, who lives in United States of America, travels all over the world to support the Men in Green. With Pakistani flag in his hand, he travels to watch each and every match of his team to cheer them.
Earlier this week, Bashir Chacha also known as ‘Chacha Chicago’, was in the news after reports emerged that he was detained for questioning by the airport authorities, but the Pakistan super fan confirmed that the news was fake.
“I was never detained for questioning in the airport while I was there to receive the Pakistan team. It was just that they asked me not to wave the Pakistan flag due to security issues. They just took my flag and gave it back once the team departed. It was a fantastic welcome, and I am very happy to be here in India for the World Cup,” Bashir was quoted as saying to Sportstar.
