Bigger Than Babar?

Who doesn’t know Babar Azam? Not just in Pakistan, he is now famous all over the world. This is because he is the highest-earning sportsman in Pakistan. According to estimates, Babar’s net worth is approximately 5 million US dollars, which converts to around 1.14 billion Pakistani rupees.

But the question is, who comes after Babar? Who is the highest earner? The answer is Sumail Hassan. Haven’t heard the name before? Well, Sumail is not a cricketer, nor a hockey or football player. He doesn’t even play tennis or any other outdoor sport. He is an esports player, or in simple terms, he plays video games.

Sumail is a champion of the game DOTA 2, where he has earned approximately 3.8 million USD since 2016, which is about 87 crores in Pakistani rupees. He can become a billionaire in a short time.

Sumail is originally from Karachi, but now he resides in America. He is only 23 years old. Who knows, in a short time, he might surpass Babar and become the richest Pakistani sportsman. What do you think?
