2. Babar Azam
The Pakistan cricket team has experienced some bittersweet moments in this decade. Most of their highs have been toned down with the following lows but in between the spark which has kept their cricketing spirits alive is none other than Babar Azam. Since his debut in 2015, the youngster has been making the right noises with his run-scoring capabilities.
Such has been his rise that now he is standing alongside world-class batsmen like Virat Kohli and Steve Smith. Babar has been one of the most prolific run-scorers of the year 2019 and his run-tally of 2100 across formats proves the point. Unlike the other Pakistan youngsters, his hunger for success and positive attitude makes him a long-term prospect for the Men in Green.
That’s why he has also been handed over the captaincy charges in the shortest format of the game. Though he has gained popularity for his white-ball credentials his red-ball game has also taken a leap in the last 6 months. Azam will be a key member of the Asian team if they have to revive their glory days in the next decade.
