Babar has risen up the ranks in modern-day cricket and has transformed himself into a run-machine, amassing a truckload of runs during his stint in the international arena.
Moreover, the talismanic batter will hope to maintain his form and display his sublime performances on Australian soil. Babar and Co. will compete with Rohit Sharma-led Team India on October 23 which marks their first fixture in the 2022 T20 World Cup.
