Babar Azam has a game that fits all three formats, but his Test batting stands out: Ian Chappell

Babar Azam, the all-format skipper of Pakistan, has proved himself as one of the best batters in contemporary cricket with his consistency, spectacular flair, and shot selection.

Former players now think that Babar is on par with contemporary batting greats because of his comparisons to Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Steven Smith, and Joe Root, which have become the talk of the town.

Ian Chappell, a former Australian cricketer, commended Babar Azam’s finely honed technique, drives, and stroke selection, writing, “Babar is a complete player with his flowing drives and all-around shot range.”

“To round out the picture, he has a game that fits all three formats, but his Test batting, with an ability to compile centuries, stands out,” he continued.

It is important to note that the 27-year-old has been in form since assuming the captaincy of the national team, and he has already recently broken multiple batting records of all-time greats across formats.

The right-hander finished the T20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE last year having scored 303 runs in six innings, including four half-centuries, and leading the Men in Green to the semi-finals.
