- Babar is only 45 runs away from 4000 runs.
- He is 82 runs away from surpassing Virat Kohli’s total T20I runs.
- Babar already holds the world record for most wins as a T20I captain.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, is on the verge of reaching several significant milestones in T20I cricket. As he prepares for the forthcoming matches, Babar is poised to add more remarkable records to his portfolio.
Firstly, Babar is just 45 runs away from becoming the first Pakistani player to amass 4000 runs in T20I cricket. This achievement would establish him as Pakistan’s highest run-scorer in this format, demonstrating his exceptional talent and consistency.
At present, Babar has scored 3955 runs, placing him third among the top run-scorers in T20I cricket, just behind Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. To overtake Virat Kohli’s total T20I runs, Babar requires only 82 additional runs.
Most runs in T20I cricket:
Virat Kohli: 4037 (109 innings)
Rohit Sharma: 3974 (143)
Babar Azam: 3955 (110)
Finally, with an additional 48 runs, Babar will become the only captain to score 2500 T20I runs. This accomplishment would not only distinguish him as a premier player but also as a leader who consistently contributes to his team’s success.
It’s noteworthy that earlier, during the T20I series against Ireland, Babar set a world record by becoming the most successful T20I captain with 45 victories, surpassing the record previously held by Brian Masaba of Uganda, who had 44 wins as captain.
