Babar Azam has become a global superstar in recent times and has established himself as one of the best batters across the globe.

The skipper of the Pakistan cricket team is ranked number one in both ODIs and T20Is and is the only batsman to be ranked in the top ten across all three formats.

Babar's elegance is something that is widely appreciated and admired and one such incident occurred on day two of the Ashes' first Test match.

While commentating, Mark Howard referred to Kerry O'Keeffe who is a former Australian Test player and toyed with him for liking Babar Azam a bit too much.

"Currently second behind your man, Babar Azam, who I know you love Kerry. When Babar's name comes up you start smiling," said Howard.

Responding to his comments, Kerry said: "I can watch Babar get 20 ball duck and would aesthetically walk away saying it was a good knock. A good zero, a stylish zero."

"Currently second behind your man, Babar Azam, who I know you love Keery. When Babar's name comes up you start smiling. I can watch Babar get 20 ball duck & would aesthetically walk away saying it was a good knock. A good 0. A stylish 0"
