While many expected her to name Babar, Kubra instead singled out the talented Naseem Shah as the player who has impressed her the most with his consistent performances and game-changing abilities on the field.

“Naseem is the best player in our cricket team and the way he played against India in the T20 World Cup, it was admirable,” Kubra remarked during her recent interview with Geo News.

Despite the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 buzz in the air, the 30-year-old actress accepted that she has no special interest in cricket but loves to watch Naseem bowling on the pitch.

Shah’s performance under pressure garnered him a multitude of new supporters. His fervour and perseverance were evident, striking a chord with aficionados who value the intricacies of the game.

Kubra’s endorsement of Naseem reflects the growing admiration for the young cricketer’s skills and his impact on the team’s fortunes. Her unexpected choice has sparked discussions among cricket fans about the diverse talents within the Pakistan cricket squad and the contributions of emerging stars alongside established names like Babar.
