Mohammad Babar Azam has become a regular member of Pakistan's national team in all three formats - Test, ODI and T20I. The Right Handed Batsman ended Pakistan's search for a reliable number 3 batsman.

The youngster was Pakistan's top run-getter as well as the skipper of his team at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup.

The 24-year-old has been on a fairytale run and made his Test debut against the Windies on October 13, 2016. Babar has a batting average of over 50 in both ODIs and T20s but is yet to bring out his best for Pakistan in Tests as he averages only 33.8.

The stroke maker idolizes AB De Villiers and has shown glimpses of brilliance while batting. The Lahore-born player has surpassed 1000 runs in Tests in 18 matches and 34 innings. He has got 9 fifties and a ton to his name but will have to step on the gas in order to boost his Test career.

Babar is the ranked as the number 1 T20 batsman and number 5 ODI batsman as per ICC Rankings. He would certainly want to push up his ranking of 35 in Tests as soon as possible.
