Melbourne: Former Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam has achieved a significant honor as his bat, used in the 2022 T20 World Cup final, has been displayed in the prestigious long room of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
The honor places Babar’s bat alongside those of cricket legends such as Don Bradman, Jack Hobbs, Brian Lara, and David Boon.
