According to Dale Steyn, Pakistan captain Babar Azam is the world’s best all-around batsman right now.
While participating in a Twitter Q&A session on Thursday, ex-South African pacer Dale Steyn was asked to name the finest batsman now playing in a variety of formats. The famous pacer selected Pakistan captain Babar Azam in response to the query. A user asked him, “Who do you think is the best batsman in the world right now?” “It might be Babar, I suppose. He’s got a lot going for him “Steyn replied with these words. In one-day internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), Babar is presently ranked first and sixth, respectively.
Australia’s Babar Azam was in fine form on their recent tour of Pakistan, scoring two centuries. He scored a century and two fifties in the three-match Test series. The second Test resulted in a draw, and Australia went on to win the third to claim the series 1-0 thanks to his unprecedented 196-ball knock.
Pakistan lost the first one-day international, but he continued his fine form with a 57 in the second match.
As a result, Pakistan won the series 2-1 behind his back-to-back hundreds.
In the second ODI, he smashed 114 off just 83 deliveries to help Pakistan chase down 349. Pakistan cruised to a 211-run victory thanks to his undefeated 105 in the third match.
Babar’s 66 off 46 in the lone T20 helped Pakistan score 162/8. A half-century from Aaron Finch, on the other hand, helped Australia in a difficult chase.
From the T20 World Cup in 2021, where he finished as the tournament’s best run-scorer, the Pakistan captain has been in excellent form.
