Babar Azam is one of Pakistan's most consistent batsmen

Pakistan's Babar Azam, who is touted as one of the players to watch out for in the future, exhibited his class yet again this year with 352 runs from 10 games at an average of 39.11 and a strike rate of 119.72.

Against West Indies in their first T20I series of the year, Babar got off to good starts, and with scores of 29, 27, 43 and 38, he was the rock in Pakistan's middle-order. He continued with a Man of the Match performance against World XI with a 52-ball 86 run knock in the first T20I and followed it up with scores of 45 and 48 in the next two T20Is.

After a rare set of failures against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi, he got back into form with a 31-ball 34 run unbeaten knock in the last T20I in Lahore.
