Babar Azam, the former captain and star batsman of Pakistan, is celebrating his 30th birthday, and his fellow cricket players are congratulating him on his unwavering perseverance as a player.
In 2016, Babar became well-known after hitting three consecutive hundreds in a one-day international series against the West Indies.
Five years later, he overtook India’s great Virat Kohli as the world’s top ODI batter, a position he still holds after being momentarily overthrown in the meantime.
Two years ago, the former skipper was the best batsman in all three forms, leading the squad, and dominating the globe.
Although he is still ranked fourth among T20 batters, his form has deteriorated the most in the long format, and he is now outside the top 10 in the world.
Cricket players did not pass up the chance to wish Babar a happy birthday and to remind him of his skill on the field in observance of this momentous day.
Several players, including Salman Ali Agha, Aamir Jamal, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Shadab Khan, expressed their affection for the former skipper on social media.
