ISLAMABAD: There were match-winning knocks, spell-binding stroke-play, and memorable moments from the Babar Azam and his team in 2022 as the Pakistan skipper claimed the ICC Men’s ODI Cricketer of the Year Award for the second time in a row.
It is to note heer that Babar only played only nine ODI matches in 2022, but the 28 years old made them count as he smashed five half-centuries and three centuries, and only really failed with the bat on one occasion.
And it wasn’t just from an individual level that Babar thrived, with the Pakistan captain also leading his team with aplomb and to just one loss throughout the year. Pakistan’s sole loss in 50-over cricket last year came against Australia in Lahore and on stats alone, it was evident that Babar was an easy selection to win the coveted ICC Men’s ODI Player of the Year award in 2022.
Babar Azam
As many as 679 runs from nine matches, an average of 84.87 with three centuries. If you thought the Pakistan skipper had a year to remember in ODI cricket in 2021, then what he produced during 2022 was even better
