Babar Azam, the stylish right-handed batsman from Pakistan, has capitalised on his strengths and emerged as one of the leading run-scorers in T20Is. Currently, he holds the world record of being the fastest batsman to score 1000 runs in T20I cricket.

Cricket pundits have also proclaimed Babar as the reason behind Pakistan's first position in ICC T20I Team Rankings. He has always stood above the rest and has delivered several match-winning performances for Pakistan.

In 2018, he scored massive 563 runs from just 12 matches at a jaw-dropping average of 62.55 and a strike-rate of 126.51. However, the number one T20I batsman might not fetch this particular award due to his low strike-rate. Though he has an impressive average, Babar is a slow-starter and takes time to settle at the crease.

Matches: 12, Runs: 563, Average: 62.55, Strike-rate: 126.51, Highest score: 97*
