Babar Becomes No.1 Batsman

Web Desk — Pakistan cricket team’s skipper Babar Azam regains the top slot in ICC’s T20I ‘Batting Ranking’ after a dazzling performance against Namibia in the T20 World Cup.

The 27-year-old’s two successive half-centuries in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup tournament and three in four previous matches have helped him overtake England’s Dawid Malan to grab the No. 1 position.

Azam, who recently scored 51 against Afghanistan and 70 against Namibia to lead the Green Shirts into the semifinals, is at the top of the ranking for the sixth time in his career. He first attained the top position on January 28, 2018. He is also currently ranked No. 1 in ODIs.
