Pakistan captain Babar Azam has cemented his place among cricket’s best batsmen of all time. Babar made his way up the youth ranks for Pakistan and has changed himself into a run machine, scoring a boatload of runs in international Cricket. He has already broken a lot of records on his way and has got 26 centuries across all formats.
After being made Pakistan’s captain, Babar has been phenomenal in his game as the additional responsibility has only fuelled his success. The 28-year-old has displayed his calm mentality both on and off the pitch. Though India and Pakistan have a reputation for being fierce rivals who do not see eye-to-eye, Babar has insisted that he shares good relations with many of the Indian cricketers, especially Virat Kohli.

The post instantly went viral and the fans hailed Babar for his sportsmanship. Virat Kohli also responded to his tweet and thanked him for his support. “Thank you. Keep shining and rising. Wish you all the best,” Kohli tweeted.
