Babar Azam  

'I look at current captains like Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli, and how well they manage their own form along with bringing results to the team. I'll try to emulate them,' Babar Azam said

Joe Root’s aggregate 556 was England’s best-ever in a single edition of the World Cup and county colleague Jonny Bairstow ended the competition with 532, a new record for a player at his first World Cup

The number one player in the list is India’s batting legend Sachin Tendulkar who scored 523 runs at the age of 22 in the 1996 World Cup. In that edition, India reached the semi-final where they lost to eventual champions Sri Lanka. Can Babar Azam break Tendulkar's World Cup record?

And with Babar already ranked as the No. 1 T20 batsman in the world, batting coach Grant Flower is confident his charge has what it takes to now kick on and join the pantheon of Pakistan greats - most notably because of the way he battled sickness to shine in Birmingham

So far in the ongoing tournament, Pakistan have played seven matches and the pattern of results are similar to that of the 1992 edition. Although Pakistan are not still assured of a berth in the semi-finals, fans are hoping the current pattern culminates in World Cup glory just like 36 years ago

With this win, Pakistan have now moved up to number six in the table with seven points from as many games. They now need to win their last two games against Afghanistan (June 29) and Bangladesh (July 5) to hope for semi-final qualification at the ICC World Cup 2019

Manchester: India spinner Kuldeep Yadav said the delivery which he bowled to dismiss Pakistan’s Babar Azam was his “best ball” of the ICC World Cup 2019 so far. Kuldeep bowled a magical ball to go through the defence of Azam at Old Trafford on Sunday (June 16). India defeated Pakistan by 89 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. Kuldeep took two wickets after Rohit Sharma’s century helped India post 336/5 in 50 overs.

When TV replays were shown, the ball had hit the pad first and later Azam’s bat. If Virat Kohli had gone for DRS, Azam would have been out LBW. The incident happened in the 19th over bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal at the ICC World Cup 2019. At the time, Azam was on 34. However, Kuldeep Yadav struck later to send him back bowled with top-class delivery, for 48

The Australian chase fell off for the third successive time and were bowled out for 117 in 19.1 overs with leg-spinner Shadab Khan grabbing 3/19 and Shoaib Malik taking three smart catches in the deep

Nathan Lyon dismissed Azhar Ali caught and bowled to break Brett Lee's record. When he had Babar Azam bowled for a duck, he went past Mitchell Johnson
