Former Indian batter Mohammad Kaif reckons Pakistan captain Babar Azam is underappreciated for his recent performances.
Babar is the only batter to be ranked in the top five across formats. He sits at the top of table in both ODI and T20 formats and claimed the No. 5 spot in Test cricket.
Kaif also hailed the talent Pakistan has been producing recently. "Pakistan cricket has got real talent, Babar Azam is there, I like Shaheen Afridi, he has been doing good," Kaif said.
"Babar Azam has been playing great and is performing consistently, he isn't appreciated enough for his performances, but he has become a priceless star for Pakistan," he added.
Kaif also named Babar Azam and Jasprit Bumrah as his current best players from Asia.
The 41-year-old praised Babar's 74-ball century in the second ODI against Australia and tweeted: "Babar has skills, technique and jigar. The perfect mix when you are chasing a big total."
