There has always been a competition between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam in terms of being the best batsman in the world, but that’s only for the fans. Both the cricketers are world-class batsmen. At the same time, personal records would surely bring them some pleasure as well. Having said that, Babar Azam did something really special in one of the recent times. He played a shot that not many could understand, yet it was appreciative.

The captain of the Pakistani team led them from the front against South Africa as they defeated the Proteas 3-1 in the four-match T20 series. To add to that, Babar Azam played a brilliant knock of 122 in the third T20I. Further, he has adjudged the Man Of The Series as well for his overall contribution. He deserved all the praises that he got from the former players/Pundits.
