Babar Azam’s English pronunciation created a viral moment. Fans heard “Momos of the time” instead of “Most of the time.” The moment happened during a Kevin Pietersen YouTube interview. Social media flooded with memes and reactions. Supporters defended Babar against trolling.
Pakistan’s star cricketer Babar Azam is used to making headlines for his elegant cover drives and match-winning performances, but this time he grabbed attention for something entirely different. A light-hearted English slip-up during a YouTube interaction with former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has turned into a viral sensation across social media platforms.
While answering a question about how he adjusts his batting stance against short-pitched bowling, Babar replied, “Most of the time.” However, due to his pronunciation, many viewers heard it as “Momos of the time,” instantly turning the clip into a meme factory.
Within hours of the video going online, it spread rapidly on X, Instagram, and YouTube. Fans began sharing edited clips, captions, and humorous reactions, turning a simple interview moment into a trending topic.

This is not the first time Babar’s English has amused the internet. Cricket followers still remember his earlier viral moment when he said “boosebumps” instead of “goosebumps.” With this latest clip, fans jokingly started calling it another example of his “English masterclass.”
The internet, however, appeared divided. While many enjoyed the humor, a large section of fans came forward to defend the Pakistani skipper. Some pointed out that English is not his first language and mocked those who were trolling him. One user commented, “He said ‘most of the time.’ Clean your ears,” while another wrote, “He is a cricketer, not an English teacher.”
Despite the playful teasing, Babar Azam’s popularity remains untouched. He continues to be one of the most admired batters in world cricket, known for his consistency, technique, and calm leadership. Moments like these only make him more relatable to fans.
What started as a routine cricket interview ended up becoming one of the most talked-about viral moments of the week. The “Momos of the time” episode may have sparked jokes and memes, but it also reminded fans that even global sports icons have charmingly human moments.
