Babar Azam became the most successful Test batter of 2022 with 1184 runs in 17 innings of nine matches. In the last three Test series held in Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) came under fierce criticism for preparing flat pitches. Noting the fact, the Pakistan skipper’s performance often becomes a point of debate as his impressive batting figures came while Pakistan played their most Test matches in the calendar year at their home. 

However, the fact cannot be ignored that the veteran scored big runs against the quality bowling unit of Australia, England, and New Zealand. In the series against Australia, Babar displayed his impressive side with the bat, ending up as the third leading run-scorer with 390 runs in five innings in three matches. 

The right-handed batter continued his form in the next series in Sri Lanka. Against the island nation, he accumulated 271 runs in four innings of two Tests and became the joint-leading run-getter in the tournament with Sri Lanka’s Dinesh Chandimal. Hosting England in December, Pakistan got whitewashed in a three-match Test competition but the 28-year-old performed brilliantly, scoring 348 runs in six innings of three Tests.
