NEW DELHI: Former Indian Test cricketer Harbhajan Singh has lauded Pakistan captain Babar Azam for his exceptional batting skills and consistency, saying that the right-handed batter would be one of the legends of cricket in the future.
Harbhajan’s comment came when he was asked by a journalist if he sees Babar making it to the Fab Four list. The Fab Four comprises former skippers Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson. They have been consistent in performances since their respective debuts.
Babar Azam is one of the finest batters going around and his records across formats speak volumes of his sheer brilliance. Be it playing marathon knocks in Test cricket or scoring quick runs in the shortest international format of the game, Babar has ticked almost all the boxes.
Babar already has 23 centuries to his name while he currently ranks in the top five across all formats. He stands fifth among batters in Tests and holds the top spot in limited-overs cricket.
Meanwhile, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh also formed his opinion on this debate and said that it would be too early to put Babar in that category while predicting that going forward, he will be among the legends of the game.
“I think it is a bit too early to say if he can be in the Fab Four. I don’t even know who are in the Fab Four. But Babar definitely has the quality, he is a proper batsman with so much confidence and technique. Going forward he will be one of the legends of cricket,” Babar told Sportskeeda.
“However, now it’s too early to put him in any league. Let him play and keep on scoring more runs and winning games for his team. And talent wise he is no less than anyone else,” he added.
