Ex-Australia batsman Tom Moody said Pakistan captain Babar Azam is “something special”.
He noted that many people think India captain Virat Kohli “is good to watch”, but Azam is right up there as well.
“We talk about how Kohli is so easy on the eye as a batsman. But if you think Kohli is good to watch, have a look at Babar Azam. He is something special,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Azam was unstoppable in the T20 World Cup as he broke the record for the most runs scored by a batsman in their maiden T20 World Cup appearance.
He accumulated 303 runs in six games, which included four fifties, at an average of 60.60 and a strike-rate of 126.25.
Pakistan are currently in Bangladesh, where they will play three T20 Internationals and two Tests.
The T20 series will be held from November 19 to 22, while the Test series will begin on November 26.
