In a thrilling match on October 30 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, Babar Azam achieved a remarkable feat by breaking Rohit Sharma’s long-standing T20I world record. This accomplishment came during Pakistan’s exciting nine-wicket victory over South Africa, leveling the series at 1-1.
| Player | Runs | Average | Strike-Rate | Centuries |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Babar Azam | 4234 | 39.57 | 128.77 | 3 |
| Rohit Sharma | Previous Holder | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Babar entered the game determined to make a mark after scoring a duck in the series opener. He started solidly with a boundary, contributing an unbeaten 11 runs off 18 balls, while Saim Ayub dazzled with a stunning 71 runs from 38 balls.
With this new achievement, Babar not only solidifies his status in T20Is but also signals the end of India’s dominance in all formats of cricket, where previously, they had dominated the run-getters list for years.
Historically, Sachin Tendulkar held records in Tests and ODIs, maintaining India’s top position. However, Babar’s rise reshapes the landscape of T20 cricket, introducing a competitive edge among the leading batsmen globally.
This remarkable development in cricket not only highlights Babar’s exceptional skills but also sets the stage for thrilling future encounters in the sport. As we look toward upcoming matches, stay tuned for more breaking news and updates.
