Ultimate dream is to become No 1 Test batsman says Babar Azam

Ultimate dream is to become No 1 Test batsman says Babar Azam

Pakistan skipper across formats, Babar Azam today became the fourth Pakistan batsman to top the ODI batting charts. Babar occupied the top spot early today after dethroning King Kohli from the top of the batting charts. Virat Kohli occupied the numero-uno position in Test cricket for three years and it is a huge achievement for the young batsman to reach the landmark. Following his attainment of the numero uno status, Babar Azam stated that his ultimate dream is to be the number one batsman in Test cricket. “I feel privileged and honoured to have joined the company of stalwarts like Zaheer Abbas, Javed Miandad and Mohammad Yousuf, who will always be the shining stars of Pakistan cricket. This is another milestone in my career, which will now require even more hard work and absolute consistency with the bat in order for me to hold on to the ranking for an extended period of time, like Sir Vivian Richards from January 1984 to October 1988 and Virat Kohli for 1,258 days,” Azam was quoted as saying in an official PCB release. “I have also previously topped the T20I rankings, but the ultimate ambition and goal is to lead the Test rankings, which are the real testament and reward to a batsman's calibre, reputation and skills. I understand to achieve this objective, I will not only have to perform consistently but more importantly, against the top sides,” he added. Babar Azam was quite magnificent during the ODI series against South Africa. He started off the series with a splendid century which paved way for a nail-biting Pakistan victory. He didn’t score much in the second encounter but again played a match-winning role in the third encounter scoring a 82 balls 94. It helped him gain 13 rating points to 865 points and is now eight points clear of the charismatic Indian skipper. Babar Azam ended Virat Kohli’s 1258 day domination at the top and joined an elusive list of Pakistan batsmen who have earlier occupied the No 1 spot in the ODI rankings. Zaheer Abbas (1983-84), Javed Miandad (1988-89) and Mohammad Yousuf (2003) are the other Pakistan batsman who has reached the feat. Babar Azam is currently the 5th ranked batsman in Tests besides being the 6th ranked batsman in T20I’s.
