Babar Azam has risen to prominence in the world of cricket and his name has been on everyone's list. Earlier today, Shane Watson named Babar as his second-best batsman in Test cricket ahead of Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, and Joe Root.
Babar's performances have remained sensational across all formats and his display in the recently concluded Australian series also attracted high praise from legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
