Pakistan batsman Babar Azam has a wide repertoire of shots, but the fans were in for a surprise during the match between Central Punjab and Sindh in the ongoing National T20 Cup in Faisalabad on Sunday.

The Central Punjab captain in his unbeaten 102-run knock off 59 balls, embellished with seven fours and five sixes, played a particular shot that left everyone in awe.

The shot came in the sixth over of the Central Punjab innings, bowled by right-arm pacer Anwar Ali, when Babar played a lofted shot over the cover, on the backfoot, with the ball landing in the stands.

The 25-year-old is known for his cover-drive but no one expected the batsman to clear the boundary with such ease.

Fans on social media were left shocked and the video of that shot soon went viral.

However, Babar’s brilliant century ended in vain as Sindh secured a thrilling win over Central Punjab by chasing down a 189-run target on the penultimate ball.
