Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is one of the best batsmen in the world across all formats of the game, without any doubt. The right-handed batter hasn’t been in good form in the recently-concluded T20 World Cup 2022.
However, under his captaincy, the Green Shirts made it all the way to the finals of the tournament. Unfortunately, they lost to Jos Buttler-led England national cricket team in the peak clash at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan skipper is gearing up for the upcoming three-match Test series against Ben Stokes-led England cricket team. The first of the three-match Test series is slated to kick off on December 1 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi.
Babar Azam said his role model is AB de Villiers
Every great batsman must have his role model in their cricketing career, without any doubt in mind. Meanwhile, the Pakistan skipper, while speaking to Sky Sports, added that his role model is Proteas batting great AB de Villiers.
AB de Villiers has been one of the integral parts of South African cricket history. The right-handed batter is popularly known as “Mr 360” because of his ability to play shots all around the park with ease.
AB de Villiers has represented the South African cricket team in 114 Tests, 228 ODIs and 78 T20Is. He scored 8765, 9577 and 1672 runs in the respective formats. He slammed 22 centuries, 46 fifties in Tests, 25 centuries and 33 fifties in One-Day Internationals and 10 fifties in Twenty20 Internationals.
On the other hand, Babar Azam has represented the national cricket team in 42 Tests, 92 ODIs and 99 T20Is. Overall, he has smashed 3122 runs including seven centuries and 23 half-centuries.
On the other hand, he scored 4667 runs including 17 centuries and 22 half-centuries to his name. As far as the T20I format is concerned, he scored 3355 runs at an average of 41.42 including 2 centuries and 30 fifties.
Meanwhile, Babar Azam will be looking forward to doing well in the Test series against the England cricket team from December 1 onwards.
