Pakistan captain Babar Azam revealed Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and Rohit Sharma as his favourite batters and the best quality that he found about them. India and Pakistan have arguably the biggest rivalry in the world of cricket but, Babar didn't hide his admiration for India's two top-quality batters. Both batters are on the list of the most runs scored in the ongoing World Cup with Virat amassing 354 runs in 5 innings and Rohit scoring 311 runs in the same number of innings as well.

New Zealand's Kane Williamson also featured in Babar's list. Williamson with his calm and cool composure has been a fan favourite. His campaign has been plagued by injury but he is expected to return in the final fixtures of the Kiwis campaign.
"Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Kane Williamson are my favourite batters in the world. They're the top players in the world. They read the conditions well, that's why they are the best. I admire them," Babar told Star Sports. "The best thing I like about Virat, Rohit and Kane is how they get the team out of difficult situations and score runs against tough bowling. This is what I try to learn from them," he further added.
Babar has been one of the finest batters of the present generation to grace the surface of cricket but his efforts with the bat have proved to be insufficient in the ongoing World Cup.
