4) “Babar Azam’s ranking should come down in ODIs too”, why did Basit Ali call Babar’s downfall a boon
In his new YouTube video, Basit said about Babar’s ranking that, “The biggest news for me is Babar Azam coming to number 9 in the ICC rankings. This is a very good thing for Babar Azam. His ranking should also come down in ODIs. He is not the number 1 batsman in ODIs. Now Babar will have a hunger to score runs. If he is still not hungry to perform, then this will lead him to face very bad things going forward. The announcement of the rankings by the ICC before the second Test can prove to be a boon for Babar.”
