Babar Azam missed making a world record
Former Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam has been chasing a world record for a long time, but has not been successful in breaking it yet. Now the time has come that they will have to wait not for days but for many months to break this world record. The world record we are talking about here is that of scoring the most runs in T20 International. Where Babar Azam is currently at second place.
Rohit Sharma has scored the most runs in T20 International
Currently, the batsman scoring the most runs in T20 International is Rohit Sharma. Who has announced his retirement from this format after the T20 World Cup played this year. Rohit Sharma has scored 4231 runs in his career by playing 159 T20 International matches. His average in this format is 32.05 and he is scoring runs at an average of 140.89. Rohit has not even played a T20 match for the last several months, yet no one has been able to overtake him. Although Babar Azam is very close to him.
Babar Azam is second in this list
Talking about Babar Azam, he has so far played 128 T20 International matches and scored 4223 runs. His average in this format is 39.83 and he is batting at a strike rate of 129.22. Earlier he was the captain of his team, but now as a player he is playing under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan.
This record will not be broken for at least four months more
Babar Azam is still 9 runs behind Rohit Sharma. This means that whenever Babar comes out to bat in this format, Rohit’s record can be destroyed. But he will not be able to play T20 International matches for at least four months because Pakistan’s schedule is like this.
This is the schedule of Pakistani team
The Pakistani team is currently on the tour of South Africa, where the three-match T20 series has ended. South Africa won the first two matches and the last match could not be played due to rain. Now Pakistani team will play ODI and then Test series in South Africa. After this, the Pakistani team will play two test matches against West Indies at home. In February, the Pakistani team will play an ODI series against New Zealand at home and after that the Champions Trophy will start, which will be played on the ODI format.
Pakistani team will play T20 series in March
The Pakistani team will play a T20 series against New Zealand at home in March. It is possible that only then Babar Azam will enter the field and break Rohit Sharma’s record. Although Babar Azam had a chance to overtake Rohit in the series played against South Africa, but his bat played in only one match and the third match could not be played. That means till then Rohit Sharma will remain number one.
