The promotional video for the ICC World Cup 2023, scheduled to take place in India, was unveiled by the broadcasters on Friday.
Star Sports, the official broadcaster for the tournament, presented a video highlighting the “Fab 5,” consisting of the world’s top five batsmen in cricket. This elite group includes the national cricket team captain, Babar Azam, Joe Root from England, Steve Smith from Australia, Virat Kohli from India, and Kane Williamson from New Zealand.
The term “Fab Four” in cricket history was originally coined by the late New Zealand cricketer Martin Crowe and initially referred to the top four batsmen in the world. However, it has now evolved to become the “Fab 5” due to the outstanding performances of Pakistan’s national team captain, Babar Azam.
The promotional video provides an enticing glimpse into the forthcoming ICC World Cup, which promises to be a captivating competition, showcasing both strategic gameplay and exceptional batting skills.
It’s worth highlighting that Babar Azam currently holds the top position in the world cricket rankings. He has accumulated an impressive 5,370 runs in 106 One Day International (ODI) matches, including 19 centuries and 28 half-centuries, with a remarkable batting average of 59.01.
Furthermore, it’s noteworthy that Babar Azam will lead Pakistan as the world’s number one batsman in the upcoming World Cup in India. The official commencement of the tournament is eagerly anticipated by cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
