Babar Azam’s top five knocks in 2021

Babar Azam’s top five knocks in 2021.

Over the previous six years, Azam has been the cornerstone of Pakistan’s batting unit.

After a few good performances, a player is not labeled as the “next big thing.” It is given to a person after the cricketing community notices that he or she have extraordinary abilities. Pakistan’s Babar Azam is one such player from this era who bears this label.

In 2015, Babar Azam made his ODI debut for the side, followed by T20Is and Tests in 2016. He has been a fantastic batter for the squad and has steadily turned into a crucial member. This year, Babar also took over the Test captaincy, making him the Pakistan team’s captain in all formats.

He has shattered many records across all forms at the age of 27. Also he has established himself as one of the top batters in the game today. This year, 2021, has also been a year of improvement for him, as he has scored some incredible runs for his country.
