The first Test between England and Pakistan in Rawalpindi has seen runs flowing all throughout the day. After England posted a total of 657 runs in the first innings, Pakistan also gave a strong reply, putting 499/7 on the board by the end of Day 3. Pakistan skipper Babar top-scored for his team, registering a total of 136 runs before being dismissed by Will Jacks. Seeing Babar score another hundred, former England captain Michael Vaughan lauded him as ‘the best batter in the world across formats’.While there’s no denying that Babar is one of the top batters in the world, Vaughan’s ultimate praise for Babar saw Twitter getting into a frenzy.While some echoed Vaughan’s sentiments of Babar, there were others who gave the pitch most of the credit for his heroics.
