I would go with solid because even with those numbers he wasn't a top 5 batsman in any category, and he needed to be more impactful overall. That average is also helped by the fact that he remained not out against the Kiwis, because other than that important knock he only had a 50+ score once in the WC.

Ah yeah you're right, I looked up stats yesterday and was quoting part of Imam's numbers instead

which killer knocks? a group stage 100?Bairstow averages less than 50
Rassie has a very small sample size and Imam is actually a damn good opening bat in the limited format but obviously not a great.
But we're discussing Babar Azam here, who has already played killer knocks in global tournaments (the same can't be said for Kohli) and is exceptional in any other series format. Obviously he needs another 3-4 years in the game for longevity but he isn't too far from being one of the very best at this rate.

Also Kohli is a WC winner which Babar will never be due to Pakistan's ongoing mediocrity lolololol

India would've had 3 if they had Babar at 3 instead.

pak would have more than one if they had sreesanth.

Sreesanth over Gul is also a fair call.

Kohli does have a group stage 100 (against Pakistan in 2015 WC), but yeah, has a penchant for going missing when it matters the most.

I think Leno should watch more cricket.
