Pakistan's former Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq predicted that Babar Azam will break all the records in the future.
Speaking to UAE's media outlet, Misbah highly praised Babar who is considered one of the best batters in the world right now.
"Babar can break all the records as a captain and as a cricketer," said Misbah who was also one of the finest captains of Pakistan.
"It has been such a long time [since] we have had a player who is quite outstanding in all three formats. He is one of the all-time best batters in Pakistan after Mohammad Yousuf, Inzamam ul Haq, Saeed Anwar, and Zaheer Abbas," he added.
Babar is currently the number one ODI batter in the world. The lad recently has reached the 5000-run mark that too fastest. He took just 97 innings to score 5000 runs, surpassing South African Hashim Amla’s record of 101.
"He’s got excellent work ethic. He's a hard worker, analysing the game and handling the pressure. He takes his practising and perfecting his skills to a new level. He’s got all the ingredients to become a Pakistani cricketing great," he praised.
"Babar has a touch of class and grace in his batting. If he plays for the next eight to 10 years, he can do what Virat Kohli has done for India," he concluded.
