#2 Babar Azam (Pakistan)
What a better introduction to the 24-year old Pakistan starlet than the fact that while I type this article out, Azam is in his 90s against the mightiest Australians in the ongoing Test between the two sides (he was dismissed for 99 eventually).
Babar Azam is currently the 6th best ranked ODI batsman in the world as ranked by ICC.
With an average of 52 and 53 in ODIs and T20Is respectively, Babar Azam is one of the biggest reasons why Pakistan might be contending highly for the World Cup next year in England. His aggression in his batting technique has got all the Pakistan cricket fans excited about his prospect for a long time now.
As previously mentioned, Azam is currently featuring for Pakistan in their Test series versus Australia.
