Pakistan captain Babar Azam is like a run-making magician in ODI cricket. He is always racking up runs with finesse and it's as if he's determined to shatter records every time he steps onto the field. 

Famous for his elegant batting style, particularly the exquisite cover drive, Babar Azam hasn't had extensive exposure to Sri Lankan conditions. 

However, given the similarity between the playing conditions there and those of his home turf, he's bound to capitalise on the opportunity during the Asia Cup 2023.

Babar Azam, fresh from his jaw-dropping century against Nepal in the Asia Cup opener, where he basically rewrote the record book, must be looking to carry that momentum into the epic clash against India on September 02 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

The Lahore-born has been in Sri Lanka for five ODI matches, but he has only racked up 150 runs with an average of 30 and a strike rate of 73.52. He has got a couple of fifties to his name, but those stats are not doing justice to his potential.
