#4 Babar Azam
Pakistan had a dream run in 2018 in the shortest format of the game. The Men in Green won series after series due to their team effort. But there was one batsman who can be held responsible for a glorious year with the bat. Babar Azam literally arrived in international cricket this year with his classy batting.
Babar scored 563 runs from 12 matches at a superlative average of 62.55. He had a strike rate of 126.51 to match the average. The right-hander holds the record for the joint most fifties this year with Shikhar Dhawan. Due to his outstanding run in T20Is, he has strengthened his position at the top of ICC Rankings in the format for the batsmen.
