Babar Azam and his fans had to suffer disappointment after the right-handed batsman lost No.1 T20I rank to England Dawid Malan on Wednesday.
Averaging 48 during the last 12 months in T20Is, Dawid Malan gained top rank in ICC T20I batsmen rankings leaving Babar eight points behind.
Now, with Babar losing the top rank in T20Is after almost two years, his fans have tied more hopes from him to do well in the upcoming series and gain the top position as soon as possible.
