Pakistan batsman has been a prolific run-scorer for Pakistan in the recent past

Former Australia cricketer Brad Hogg has mentioned Pakistan batsman Babar Azam as one of the players he loves watching in all formats of the game.

Babar is currently the captain of Pakistan’s Twenty20International (T20I) side and has been prolific run-scorer for Pakistan, across all formats, in the recent past.

The right-hander features in the top five of ICC rankings for batsmen in all formats with first, third and fifth position in T20Is, ODIs and Tests respectively.
