Babar Azam, the champion Pakistan batter is known as one of the cleanest strikers of the ball in modern era. He has an array of shots and is known for his back-foot punches and a supremly well-crafted cover-drive. As of late, he has been in woeful touch, but when on song, Babar is one of the purest strikers of a cricket ball.

In the ongoing Pakistan's Champions One Day Cup, Babar has looked in ominous touch. He scored a gritty fifty in his first match and also looked in sublime touch in the second game of the tournament. In of the incident, he even smacked Shahnawaz Dahani for five boundaries in a row, leaving the fans stunned.

Babar showcases his class with delightful cover-drive

Ahead of the England Test series, Babar's form is crucial for the Pakistan side, and the way he is batting in the Champions Cup, the Pakistan fans should become optimistic. In the ongoing contest between Stallions and Dolphins, Babar looked in decent touch, however, he delighted the fans with a crisp cover-drive, which left the fans awestruck.

The Dolphins bowler, Abbas, bowled a fuller length ball outside the off and it was enough for the champion batter to unleash his favourite stroke. He came on the front-foot and beat the man at mid-off and extra cover to find the much-needed boundary. The fans went crazy and rightly so, as Babar has immense popularity across Pakistan.

Babar has been in woeful form as of late!

The year 2024 has been woeful for Babar Azam. He had a disastrous T20 World Cup, both as a leader and as a batter, and it was followed by a horrendous series against Bangladesh.

In the series against the Tigers, Babar could only score 64 runs in 4 innings and his Test ranking also dropped below the 10th position. Ahead of the England series, he is honing his skills in the Champions Cup to get the lost touch back.
