A young laborer from South Punjab, Muhammad Imran, has gained overnight fame on social media for his striking resemblance to Pakistan cricket star Babar Azam.
According to reports, Imran’s friends uploaded a video of him online, which quickly went viral. Originally from a small village, Imran had left home to work as a laborer, unaware that his look-alike status would capture the public’s attention.

In an interview with local TV, Imran said villagers had often told him he looked like Babar Azam, but he never believed it. “Since coming to Lahore, I realize they were right,” he admitted.
