The only batter ranked in the top five across all cricket formats is Babar Azam
Babar Azam, the former captain of Pakistan’s cricket team, has accomplished a noteworthy achievement by rising to the fifth spot in the ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings. With this achievement, he becomes the only batsman in the world to be placed in the top five in the three different forms of cricket, namely Test, ODI, and T20.
Babar climbed up the rankings, moving up five spots from where he was before. Impressive performances played a part in this rise, especially when Australia’s and India’s batters experienced difficulties in their respective Test matches. He was previously ranked tenth, but his exceptional on-field performances have earned him this prestigious honor.
As everyone celebrates Babar Azam’s incredible ascent, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson continues to hold the top spot in the world rankings for Test batters. At number six, Virat Kohli is still very strong, demonstrating the level of competition at the top of the rankings.
In addition, Usman Khawaja of Australia has advanced significantly, climbing two spots to take ninth place after an excellent half-century showing in the second Test match against the Caribbean team.
Babar Azam’s extraordinary accomplishment highlights Pakistan’s developing skill in the world of international cricket in addition to showcasing his own brilliance. Cricket fans are excited to see more significant moments in his remarkable career as he keeps showcasing his abilities in a variety of formats.
