Former captains- India’s Virender Sehwag and England’s Michael Vaughan have made their picks for the batter who may end up as the top-scorer for the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022 which is being held in Australia.
The main round, the Super 12s will begin from October 22nd onwards, and speculations on who will be the best performer with the bat and ball in the tournament have begun. Probably the most popular of the individual predictions would be who would end up being the top scorer in the tournament.
India’s Virender Sehwag, who won the tournament in 2007, picked Pakistan’s Babar Azam as his choice and compared his calmness with that of Virat Kohli.
“Babar Azam from Pakistan. He has been extraordinary. Great fun to watch. There is a sense of calmness whenever Virat Kohli bats and you get something similar when watching Babar,” he said on Cricbuzz.
On the other hand, Michael Vaughan added that with Babar opening the innings for Pakistan and his prolific partnership with Mohammad Rizwan will only help him top the run-making charts in the T20 World Cup 2022.
“This year's T20 World Cup, I am going with Babar Azam. Brilliant player, Pakistan's opening batter. A great combination with Rizwan at the top of the order. So consistent, Babar Azam will score the most runs,” said Vaughan.
India and Pakistan start their campaign with a blockbuster match against each other on Sunday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The colossal stadium is sold out but there is a chance that rain could play spoilsport on the clash.
