With a young and talented squad at his disposal, Babar has admirably led from the front, setting high standards with his performances and inspiring his teammates to follow suit. While Babar’s brilliance has been a key factor in Pakistan’s success, it is important to acknowledge the contributions of the entire team. Each player has contributed to this magnificent success, demonstrating remarkable teamwork and an unwavering desire to win. The batting lineup, bolstered by Babar’s elegance and consistency, has been ably supported by the likes of Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan.
