Former New Zealand captain, while interacting in a Question and Answers


session on Instagram for ESPNCricinfo, also rated Babar Azam as the best
batter in the world currently. When Daniel Vettori was asked a question on who
is the best batsman in the world he said , "The different formats of the game
make it tough to say overall, but right now, Babar Azam is the most in-form
batter on the back of his series against Australia".

We all know Babar Azam is a talented cricketer and he is gifted with timing with
his bat. He has played many match winning innings for Pakistan Cricket team
especially during the last few years. He is also praised with some comments
calling him as a player who reestablished the future of Pakistan Cricket Team.
He is now the No.1 Ranked T20I and ODI player in the world.

Babar will be a key player for Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup in
Australia. When questions were raised about his low strike rate in T20,he
answered it with his bat during his last series versus the Australians.

Babar Azam played exemplary knocks against Australia at home. As we all know
he scored a match-saving 196 in the Karachi Test and in the final test match of
the series, he scored a fifty in each innings. The No.1 ranked ODI batter
registered two centuries in the final two ODI games, leading Pakistan to a series
win. He also made fifty in a one-off T20I.
As comparison between Babar and Virat Kohli is heating up , Babar has won
most of the votes by the Cricket enthusiasts. As an Indian fan we all are
expecting Virat to perform well in the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia and
hope he lives up to our expectations.
