Babar Azam reclaims number one ranking as T20I batsman
Pakistan captain Babar Azam on Wednesday reclaimed number one slot of ICC's T20I Batting Ranking following Tuesday's match against Namibia match in the T20 World Cup.
The accolade was celebrated by Pakistan Cricket Board which tweeted the news by refering to Azam as "King Babar."
Azam’s two half-centuries in this T20 World Cup effectively "dethroned" England’s Dawid Malan to take the top slot of batters.
As Geo reported, Azam scored 51 against Afghanistan and 70 against Namibia and is at the top of the ranking for the sixth time in his career.
The 27-year-old had first attained the top position on January 28, 2018. He is presently also ranked No. 1 in ODIs.
