It is still early days but Babar Azam has become a household name and continues to play good innings every series, as such I think it will be a good idea to list what everyone believes to be his top innings till date. I will start by stating my list but would love to see what everyone else has to say:
Note : This is just a fun activity that i wanted to do and would appreciate if it is taken for what it is and not changed into a debate/hate thread.
10- 85 vs England T20 : Not many would remember but it was a pretty good counter attacking knock.
9- 103 vs S.A ODI : It was a pressure match for a then new captain Babar and i think he played it pretty well.
8- 122 vs S.A T20 : The only reason this is at no 8 is due to the fact that it wasn't the best bowling attack ever but still with the pressure of last games performance it was a treat to watch him respond.
7- 114 vs Australia ODI : Chasing 350 against Australia and playing at very rapid pace to lead Pakistan to a win was pretty good by any standard.
6- 158 vs England ODI : Very underrated innings.
5- 71,72 vs S.A Test : The way he demolished Steyn and co with these two innings was just something else...playing at a strike rate of 80+ in some of the most difficult places for away teams and doing what he did was just special.
4- 68* vs India T20 : For obvious reasons
3- 196 vs Australia Test : One of the best 4th innings knocks for me against a very good bowling attack.
2- 119 vs Sri Lanka Test : An Amazing knock with the tail when everyone else failed
1- 101* vs New Zealand ODI : Was a great knock in a must win match for Pakistan in a World cup match.
Lets see how everyone else rates their choices.
