At a time when weâre down in the dumps, it shouldnât take much to make us feel good. 

Even this story of Babar Azam being praised for being the 'best T20I batsman in the world' by a 5-year-old fan is enough to make us feel a little better.

Babar Azam

The hero of millions including 5-year-old Oscar who sent in this... #WeAreSomersetpic.twitter.com/oxOtDaYVQ9

But, as one of the people (Daniel Alexander) who replied to tweet said, âBabar Azam is class, on and off the field. #KingBabarâ Itâs his down-to-Earth response that made us respect him a little more.

Babarâs tweet goes, "Hey Oscar, thank you so much for such a kind note. I am so proud of you buddy. You are a rockstar. Study hard & play even harder champ! Look forward to meet you. #RiseAndRiseâ

Irrespective of the whole India-Pakistan rivalry and whatever your personal feelings and beliefs are, itâs important to give credit where creditâs due. 

The response is impeccable. I mean thatâs exactly how Iâd imagine replying to one of my fans on social media, if I had any that is.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the response, though, is that itâs something Umar Akmal can learn from. I donât think I need to justify myself here.

Of course, Umar Akmal needs lessons on how to tweet. Who doesnât remember his infamous 'mother from another brother' tweet? Now, imagine if Babar had passed on some of his wisdom to the younger Akmal sibling.

Letâs hope one day in the near future we see Umar Akmal tweeting something similar for one of his fans. (Does he have any?) 

And while Umarâs learning from Babar, perhaps he can take some tips on how to be the best T20I batsman as well? No hate Umar, weâre all friends here. Peace.

Iâm ending with some of the responses people had to Babarâs tweet. Enjoy!

Perhaps one of his biggest fans?

What a kind soul Babar.
And then we have people like Kohli who received the "Spirit of the Cricket Award" for doing all kinds of nuisance on and off the field.

Someone like Babar or Kane deserved that award.

Even Oscarâs dad replied:

Oscar is going to be so chuffed when he finds out in the morning that you sent him a message
I will video his surprised face... cheers...stay well stay safe

Obviously thereâs someone trying to get a shout out from their favourite cricketers:

Some people donât even care about the tweet. They just want a picture of Babar for their phones:

Bro can you send me this wallpaper please
