Former captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Babar Azam, has achieved a remarkable feat by securing the fifth position in the ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings. This accomplishment sets him apart as the only batsman globally to be ranked among the top five in all three cricket formats—Test, ODIs, and T20.
Babar’s climb in the rankings saw him move up by five spots from his previous position. This rise was influenced by impressive performances, particularly as batters from India and Australia faced challenges in their respective Test matches. Previously positioned at 10th, his consistent and stellar displays on the field have earned him this esteemed recognition.
While Babar Azam’s remarkable rise is celebrated, Kane Williamson from New Zealand maintains his position as the world’s No. 1 ranked Test batter. Virat Kohli remains strong at the sixth position, highlighting the competitive landscape at the top of the rankings.
Furthermore, Australia’s Usman Khawaja has made a significant leap, moving up two places to claim the eighth position following a commendable half-century performance in the second Test against the Caribbean side.
Babar Azam’s unprecedented achievement not only showcases his individual excellence but also underscores Pakistan’s growing talent in the international cricket arena. As he continues to demonstrate his prowess across formats, cricket enthusiasts eagerly anticipate witnessing further milestones in his illustrious career.
