Pakistan’s skipper, Babar Azam, continues to solidify his position as one of the world’s leading batsmen. Babar Azam achieved a double dose of brilliance in a recent T20 international against Ireland.
First, Azam became the Pakistani batsman with the most scores of 50 or more runs in T20 cricket. This match marked his 39th fifty, further solidifying his reputation as a consistent run-scorer.
But Azam didn’t stop there. He etched his name in Pakistani cricket history by becoming the first player to smash a staggering 25 runs in a single over. This awe-inspiring feat came against Ireland’s Benjamin White, with Azam launching four towering sixes.
Azam’s heroics were amplified by the exceptional partnership he forged with teammate Mohammad Rizwan. Together, they amassed a record-breaking 139 runs, their 10th century stand as a duo. This partnership also propelled them past the 3,000-run mark in T20 internationals, showcasing their unmatched batting synergy.
Babar Azam’s leadership and batting prowess are proving to be a potent force for Pakistan cricket. His ability to score consistently and explode at crucial moments makes him a true asset to the team. With many more matches to come, Azam is sure to keep breaking records and inspiring his teammates.
