Look no one is born with perfection, rather they achieve it.

They fail.
They analyse.
They learn.
They train.
They sweat.
They succeed.

Some examples of hard workers, succeeding.

Younis in Tests. He was not technically sound. But, the hunger and determination made him at least a Pakistani great.

Sachin in ODIs. Even he did not have the best technique. But, we all know where he ended his career.

Kohli in ODIs. If you look at UMAR vs KOHLI thread, you could see many said UMAR to be more talented. But Today, Kohli is one of the top cricketers, and the least said about Umar, the better.

Babar Azam, looks to be talented and decent technically. I would rate his 70's and 80's in New Zealand more than his centuries in UAE.

He could be successful like other great batsmen, But would he follow his cousins like ethics or would he work on his deficiencies?

I think, despite not being named in the 27 men squad, he is attending the camp and working on his batting. He could have easily been complacent and preferred rest. But, he chose to improve.

If he keeps improving, there is no reason why he cannot keep his average 45+ with 85+ strike rate and be IMPACTFUL. If he takes the easy path, like his cousins, it wouldn't take long time before he becomes another HAFEEZ, averaging 35+ and bowling some off spin.
 
Honestly when I watched a bit of that 90* I regret that I didn't watch the full innings,The website was playing up.

I think it's the best innings he has ever played till date,whenever I watched him he looked great,getting behind the ball correctly and he looked very good in general,Tim Southee even said Babar will go along way in his career and we very rarely hear that from opposition players.
 
He is certainly scoring the runs.
would be nice if they lead to wins.
 
He will not fall off like his brother, I think Babar will be the 5th one to join Kohli, Root, Williamson and Smith if he puts in the work. He can score on any pitch and rarely looks troubled and I kinda feel he'll break into the 10K runs group in ODI's. Inzi sees quality in this boy.
