**Sydney, Australia –** Pakistan suffered a 3-0 whitewash at the hands of Australia in their recent T20I series, concluding on November 18th. Despite the series loss, Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam achieved a remarkable personal milestone, surpassing Virat Kohli’s record for most T20 International runs.
In the final match, Babar played a blistering innings of 41 runs off just 28 balls, showcasing a strike rate of 146. His knock included four boundaries, pushing his career T20I run tally to 4192, surpassing Kohli’s 4188. This impressive performance cemented Babar’s position as the second-highest run-scorer in T20I history.
While he fell short against Adam Zampa once again, Babar now has his sights set on Rohit Sharma’s all-time record of 4231 runs. With only 39 runs needed in his next series, Babar is poised to become the world’s leading T20I run-scorer, especially considering both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from the format.
