Ex-New Zealand cricketer and commentator Simon Doull has called Pakistan captain Babar Azam "the best in the world" at the moment. "When you talk about the Big-4, at the moment, Babar is the big one," added Doull. Earlier, ex-WI cricketer Ian Bishop had praised Babar, stating that he has "almost overtaken" India's Virat Kohli as a batter in the ODIs.
