5 cricketers who can replace Babar Azam from top spot in T20Is
Babar has been piling runs since his debut in 2016.
Colin Munro
He is another South African born playing for New Zealand. Munro is amongst the most destructive openers in world cricket. Starting as a middle-order batsman, Colin Munro made his T20 international debut way back in 2012 but couldn’t cement a spot in the side because of his inconsistency. While Munro settled his position by the end of 2016, he has been in sublime touch in the last couple of years. Starting from January 2017 he scored three centuries in a space of 12 months.
Munro may not have crossed three-figure mark in ODIs, but he boasts the record of 3 T20I centuries just behind Rohit Sharma’s tally of four. He was the highest scorer for the Black Caps in 2018 scoring 500 runs at 45 with a scorching strike rate of 178. Also, he is ranked second in T20Is. Considering his form and the size of grounds in New Zealand, Munro is likely to displace Babar Azam in 2019.
