Inzamam said that he has never seen a player who performs as consistently as Babar does. He was highly impressed with Babar’s magnificent knock in the third T20I, scoring his first century in the format and chasing down a huge target of 204 with two overs to spare.
“I have never seen a batting display like this before from a Pakistan team. You cannot praise Babar Azam enough. I had said that he was a little bit worried about losing his wicket in the last game due to lack of batting depth in the Pakistan team. But today, he played an effortless inning, which included proper shots and no slogs. It would not be wrong to call him number one batsman,” Inzamam said.

Legendary middle-order batsman was also full of praises for the wicket-keeper batsman, Mohammad Rizwan. Inzamam said that Rizwan silenced his critics by performing across formats. People used to criticize Rizwan’s inability to hit big, but he has shown that he can smash it big when required.
