“I once talked to Virat Kohli in this regard, and he told me to take net sessions as seriously as matches. If you get out and play rash shots in nets, you will do the same in a match. His advice helped me, and now, I do not get satisfied with my batting at nets. If my net session does not go well, I am disturbed throughout the day,” he added.

Babar reached the summit of the ICC ODI batsman rankings, surpassing Kohli, who had held onto the position for almost four years. Babar said that it is another milestone in his career and his next ambition is to become the best batsman in Test cricket.
