Current Best World XI across all three formats
Four Indians feature in the list.
4. Babar Azam
Picking the number four of this line-up was tricky, with batting stars like Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, and Babar Azam doing tremendously well in international cricket. However, we gave an edge to Azam due to his staggering consistency. He has been a cornerstone of Pakistan’s line-up ever since his debut in 2015. Six years down the line, Azam leads the national side across all formats.
Despite being a part of Pakistan’s fragile batting line-up, Azam has delivered regularly regardless of the circumstances and formats. He likes to stay at the crease for long, and his ability to keep the scorecard ticking makes him an even greater asset. The swinging red cherry hasn’t troubled him either.
Many comparisons have been drawn between Azam and Kohli due to similarities in their playing style. While Kohli has already become a batting juggernaut, his Pakistan counterpart is on his way to greatness. Notably, it was Azam only who dethroned Kohli as the top-ranked ODI batsman earlier this year.
