Babar Azam has set a new record as the leader of the Pakistan national team. This batsman has occupied the top spot in the list of highest run scorers as a captain in T20 International. In this record, Babar left behind the Australian legend Aaron Finch.
Babar achieved this feat in the third match of the ongoing five-match T20 series against New Zealand. The Pakistan captain achieved this feat by scoring 37 runs off 29 balls in the match.
Babar’s current run as a captain in twenty over international cricket is 2 thousand 246 in 67 innings. Finch’s run at the back is 2,236 in 76 innings. New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, who is third behind these two, has 2 thousand 125 runs in 71 innings.
Babar is not only the best in this record, this right-handed opener batsman is also Pakistan’s highest run scorer in T20. His runs in 105 innings are 3 thousand 749. There are 3 centuries next to 33 fifties.
However, Pakistan could not win on Babar’s record day. They lost the chance to advance in the series by losing by a big margin. Pakistan lost by 7 wickets in the third T20 of the series in Rawalpindi on Sunday (April 21).
Batting first in the match, Pakistan scored 178 runs after losing 4 wickets in 20 overs. In response, Chapman’s unbeaten fifty lost 3 wickets and anchored New Zealand to victory before 10 balls. Chapman remained unbeaten on 87 runs off 42 balls with 9 fours and 4 sixes.
