Who is the best T20I player in the world currently? The question can evoke several answers. But for former Australia player Shane Watson, the answer is clear. It's Babar Azam. The Pakistan cricket team captain is currently the No. 1 batter in ICC ODI and T20I rankings. Last year, he played a big part in Pakistan reaching the semi-final of the 2021 T20 World Cup. This year too, Pakistan are among the favourites to lift the trophy and Babar's form is a major reason behind it. While speaking on The ICC Review, Watson was asked to name five players who would be his first choices for a World T20I XI. The Australia great chose Babar as his first pick.
