Asia Cup 2022 is here and all the teams have named their final squads that misses some prominent names due to injuries. The qualifiers have already started where the likes of UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuwait are taking part from which 2 teams will qualify to play the main round against the big boys.
Asia Cup 2022: Babar Azam to score most runs
Babar Azam is not a swashbuckling opener in T20s. He likes to take his time and anchor the innings which eliminates the aspect of risk. He is a run machine across formats and one of the most assured batsmen going around in world cricket at the moment. He doesn’t have any visible weakness in his batting although power hitting is one thing which he lacks which is needed in T20s. The Pakistani skipper has worked on his range in the last year or so and is accessing all parts of the ground which has added new dimension to his batting.
He is the #1 ranked T20I batsman at the moment and he is holding that position for more than a year now. He is most likely to end up as the highest run getter in the Asia Cup 2022.
Babar Azam’s T20I stats
T20Is | Runs | Average | Strike rate | 50s |
74 | 2686 | 45 | 129 | 26 |
Who is the other contender?
KL Rahul is the 2nd best batsman for India in T20Is at the moment. He is more like Babar Azam in terms of approaching his innings. Although he looked rusty in the series against ZIM, he is a class player and one of the most consistent players for India in T20Is.
KL Rahul’s T20I stats
T20Is | Runs | Average | Strike rate | 50s |
56 | 1831 | 40 | 142 | 16 |
