5 batters to watch at ICC World Cup in India

Babar Azam (Pakistan) :
Despite a lackluster Asia Cup campaign, the top-ranked ODI batter remains a crucial anchor in Pakistan’s top order as they aim to bounce back from recent disappointments.

Fast bowler Naseem Shah’s absence due to injury could hamper Pakistan’s World Cup campaign but Babar’s brilliance with the bat means they are capable of posting imposing totals and remain a formidable team.

The graceful right-hander average of 58.16 in ODI campaign and has the ability to score freely despite not being a natural power-hitter.
