Brett Lee names Babar Azam as his favourite batter

Babar Azam is one of the most successful batters of the modern era.

But more than the runs he scores, the way he scores him is what sets him apart.

No wonder, his legion of fans spans the entire world.

The latest cricketer to join this bandwagon is former Australian fast bowler, Brett Lee.

Lee has expressed his admiration for Pakistan captain Babar Azam, stating that he is his favorite batsman in world cricket and has showered him with praise for his impressive skills and talent on the cricket field.

In a recent interview with a local media personnel, Brett expressed his gesture towards the 28-year-old and praised his cover drive skills.

“My favorite batsman is Babar Azam……. beautiful cover drive,” said Brett Lee

Previously, even South African batsman David Miller picked Babar Azam’s cover drive over Virat Kohli’s cover drive in a segment named ‘You have to answer’.

The left-hander was asked to pick between the aforementioned batsmen, and Miller preferred the classical shot played by the Pakistan captain.

“I’ll probably go Babar.” Miller said.

Peshawar Zalmi skipper, Babar Azam, was quite outstanding throughout the entire Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight.

The right-hand batsman scored 522 runs at an average of 52.20, including the maiden century he aimed to score in the tournament.

Babar is known for his class and elegance while playing his shots.

In fact, a lecture on his batting technique being used as an example by a coach at the International Coaching Cricket Center in the United Kingdom (UK), recently went viral all over social media.

In the video, the lecturer terms Babar ‘world class’ and asks his students to learn from his stance.

“Top players track the ball when it comes out of the hand. They don’t move early, they stand still and keep watching it,” the coach said.

“He [Babar] is beautifully balanced at the crease. He is watching the bowler coming in, but not moving.”

“There is a lot going on his mind. He will only move when the ball is close to him. That is why he is world number one,” he concluded.
