Babar Azam is considered as one of the finest batsmen in world cricket when it comes to the shorter formats. He is the number two batsman in the ICC ODI rankings and has taken giant strides in his short career.

Babar is the most dependable batsman for Pakistan and has provided much-needed stability in the batting line-up. In 41 ODI matches, he has scored 1789 runs at an amazing average of 51.11 which includes seven centuries and seven fifties.

Babar was a part of the Pakistan team which won the Champions Trophy in 2017 in which he played small crucial knocks. His hunger for runs has drawn a comparison with Virat Kohli and has emulated consistency like him.

Batting at number 3, Babar will play a key role in the World Cup and as a consistent performer for the team, he might end up as the highest run-getter in the tournament.
