Babar is known for his class and elegance while playing his shots and a lecture on his batting technique being used as an example by a coach at the International Coaching Cricket Center in the United Kingdom (UK), recently went viral all over social media.

In the video, the lecturer terms Babar ‘world class’ and asks his students to learn from his stance.

“Top players track the ball when it comes out of the hand. They don’t move early, they stand still and keep watching it," the coach said. 

"He [Babar] is beautifully balanced at the crease. He is watching the bowler coming in, but not moving. There is a lot going on his mind. He will only move when the ball is close to him. That is why he is world number one," he concluded.
