Babar had last month said that he dreams of becoming the number one batsman in all three formats in the times to come, before being ranked number three in Test cricket.
Babar had said that, as a player, it is a dream that I become the number one batsman in all three formats. For this it is necessary that I have to be completely focused on my game and work hard. It is not that if you become the number one player in one or two formats, then everything will be easy for you.
“Even if you become number one in all three formats, you always need to keep yourself fit and on track. At present, cricket is being played continuously. Rest time is very short, so you have to keep yourself fit as much as possible.
Only two Indians in top 10
Only two players from India are in the top 10 in the ICC Test Rankings. Rishabh Pant, who has performed well in England, is at number five in the rankings, while Rohit Sharma is at number 9. Virat Kohli, who was number one in this format, has slipped to 12th place. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah has now come in fourth place after falling behind Shaheen Afridi of Pakistan. At the same time, Afridi has occupied the third number.
Bumrah bowled effectively in the rescheduled fifth Test against England. He took five in both the innings, but despite this, Team India had to face a crushing defeat by 7 wickets in this match.
