Pakistan skipper Babar Azam continues to receive praise from the cricket fraternity for his domination across formats.

Former New Zealand captain, while interacting in a Question and Answers session on Instagram for ESPNCricinfo, also rated Babar Azam as the best batter in the world currently.

As per the legendary left-arm spinner, Babar Azam is the most in-form batter at the moment with his brilliant performances during the historic series against Australia.

"The different formats of the game make it tough to say overall, but right now, Babar Azam is the most in-form batter on the back of his series against Australia", said Vettori.
