He took 46percent votes while Indian fans and their captain Virat Kholi has to take the bitter pill again as he was beaten by 0.1percent of votes with 45.9percent.

Earlier, Kohli had also lost to Pakistan’s former skipper and current Prime Minister Imran Khan in an ICC poll involving individual performance as a captain.

Babar who is currently playing in the second Test against South Africa in Rawalpindi is still on the crease with an elegant 77 runs innings and has become the top trend on the social media microblogging website Twitter.
