Srinagar: Terming him as best in the World, Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has said that inning played by Babar Azam was best seen by him.
Babar Azam in the second T20I against New Zealand on Saturday in Lahore played a blistering innings of 101 runs off 58 balls, including 11 fours and three sixes, at a strike rate of 174.13.
“I have seen many innings but this was at the top of the line in my opinion, especially the way he [Babar] carried on after we lost three wickets. The wicket was holding as well. But the way he played was simply brilliant. There’s no doubt that he’s the best player in the world,” said Imad Wasim in conversation with Babar after the match.
Azam expressed his delight on completing his third T20I century.
“I am very happy to perform in this match,” said Babar. “I had two good partnerships and then our bowling was once again excellent. We have got experienced and exciting young bowlers who gave us back-to-back wins.”
Pakistan now lead the five-match series 2-0 with the last three matches in Lahore (April 17) and Rawalpindi (April 20 and 24).
