The former England captain Nasser Hussain, have lauded Babar Azam for his excellent gameplay. Babar Azam is playing in the best form in his career.
Nasser Hussain said that,"If this was Virat Kohli, everyone would be talking, but as it's Babar Azam, no one is talking. He's young, he's elegant and he's got swagger. They talk about Fab 4 (Kane Williamson, Joe RootbRoot, Steve Smith & Virat Kohli) but it's Fab 5 & Babar is in that.
