2019 World Cup: One star cricketer who holds the key for each team

#9 Babar Azam - Pakistan

Babar Azam is one of the consistent performers for Pakistan

One of the most prolific run-scorer for Pakistan in the recent past, Babar Azam is one of the key players for Pakistan leading up to the World Cup. An accumulator of runs, Babar understands his game and has the ability to play according to the situation. He bats at the very crucial number three position for his team and often plays the anchor role with others knocking around him.

The 24-year old also has the game to shift gears and take on the bowlers when needed. It will be for the very first time that Babar will don the Pakistan jersey in the World Cup and he would like to make it count in his maiden appearance at the prestigious tournament.

Even the team would hold their hopes high on the right-handed batsman to come good and deliver in the best interests of the team. It will also be a golden opportunity for Babar to establish himself as one of the better players for the men in green in the present decade.
