To make it to the best 11, the trio aided Nairobi City Stars to a 1-0 win over log leaders Tusker at Ruaraka on Friday 30 July 2021.
Ezekiel Odera scored the lone goal in the 53rd minute after getting to the end of a long ball by teenager Ouma.
Babu, as Ouma is fondly known, clocked his first premier league 90 minutes in that game and came out as the man of the match.
