As Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the ICC Men’s ODI Cricketer of the Year Award for a second consecutive year in 2022, there were game-changing hits, mesmerizing stroke play, and unforgettable moments for both him personally and his team.
Babar played nine ODI games in 2022, which may come as a surprise to some, but the 28-year-old made the most of them by smashing three centuries, five half-centuries, and only truly struggling with the bat once.
Babar excelled not only on an individual level, but also as the captain of Pakistan, who guided the team to a perfect record of one win and no losses in the entire year.
