Matter of time before Babar Azam becomes No.1 ranked Test batter: Ponting
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting says Babar Azam will soon become the world’s No. 1 Test batsman because he has all the qualities he wants.
Pakistan next face Australia in a three-match Test series starting in Rawalpindi on March 4. Babar Azam won the ICC Men’s ODI Cricket of the Year award in January, beating matches from Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, South African batsman Janneman Malan and Irish opener Paul Stirling.
“He (Babar Azam) used to be great in T20I cricket too, didn’t he? He’s been great with white ball cricket for the last four or five years. He’s the same as Shaheen. I’m on their tour When in Australia, you don’t see many of these guys out there, but when I saw Babar in the second innings against Australia in Brisbane, I saw him in the fast, bouncy Brisbane Some of the pitches played – front foot and back foot – against Hazelwood, Stark and Cummins – like, I’ve heard a lot about him and I’ve seen some of his sideballs, But this guy is the real deal,” Ponting said on the ICC’s Commentary Show.
“I think I said at the time, for this guy, the sky’s the limit. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before he becomes the world’s No. 1 Test batsman or definitely challenges it. He’s probably challenging for that position right now, If he plays a few more Test matches in the last few years, he might knock on the door for that,” he added.
Azam finished 2021 with 405 runs with a 67.50 average. His 158 at-bat was a loss, but a lesson in building an ODI inning. With 50 points on 72 balls, he put his foot on the gas in the second half, hitting just 139 balls for a career best.
“He’s a beautiful player, it’s that simple. I’m always looking for these young types of batsmen to see if they can play well on the back foot in Australia, especially through offside hits – it could be Joe Lu Tert hasn’t quite mastered the field and why he hasn’t achieved so much in Australia,” Pontin said.
“Babar did that and hit the front foot back to the ground as well. Those are just the markers and indicators I looked for when the tour batsmen came to Australia, and Babar ticked both boxes,” he added.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
