Pat Cummins lists Babar Azam among one of the 'toughest batsmen to bowl to'
Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins has listed skipper of Pakistan cricket team Babar Azam among the world's toughest batsmen he has bowled to.
During a live question-answer session on his YouTube channel, the cricketer named a few batsmen who though were toughest to face and Babar Azam was one of them.
Besides Azam, the 28-year old cricketer’s list featured names such as Virat Kohli, Joe Root, AB de Villiers, and Kane Williamson.
"These are the best in the world and are the obvious ones as they don’t have any weaknesses. Each team has a couple of batters that are toughest to bowl to, but you want to face those challenges as it is most rewarding,” Cummins said.
He further stated that overall players from India, England, New Zealand, and South Africa are hard to bowl to.
Cummins is currently International Cricket Council (ICC)'s number one ranked Test bowler in the world, whereas Babar Azam tops the chart of ICC’s ODI batsmen ranking.
