Former Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam has been chasing the world record for a long time but has yet to successfully break it. Now, they have to wait not days but months to break this world record. The world record we are talking about here is the world record for scoring the most runs in T20 internationals. Babar Azam is currently ranked second.
Rohit Sharma tops scorer in T20 Internationals
Currently, the highest-scoring batsman in T20 Internationals is Rohit Sharma. After the T20 World Cup this year, who announced their withdrawal from this format. Rohit Sharma has played 159 T20 international matches in his career and scored 4231 runs. He has an average of 32.05 and an average of 140.89 in this format. Rohit has not even played a T20 match in the past few months, but no one can top him. Although Babar Azam was very close to him.
Babar Azam ranks second in this list
Talking about Babar Azam, he has played 128 T20 internationals so far and scored 4223 runs. He has a batting average of 39.83 and a strike rate of 129.22 in this format. Earlier he was the captain of the team but now as a player he plays under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan.
It will take at least four months for this record to be broken
Babar Azam remains nine points behind Rohit Sharma. This means that every time Babar bats in this format, Rohit’s record is likely to be broken. But he won’t be able to play T20 internationals for at least four months because of Pakistan’s schedule.
Here is Pakistan’s schedule
The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of South Africa, where the three-match T20 series has concluded. South Africa won the first two games before the last game was rained out. Pakistan will now play an ODI match and then a Test series in South Africa. After this, Pakistan will play two Test matches at home against the West Indies. In February, Pakistan will play an ODI series against New Zealand at home, after which the Champions Trophy will begin in ODI format.
Pakistan team to play T20 series in March
Pakistan will play a T20 series against New Zealand at home in March. It may be only then that Babar Azam will enter the field and break Rohit Sharma’s record. While Babar Azam had a chance to overtake Rohit in the series against South Africa, he only played one game with the bat and could not get the third game going. This means Rohit Sharma will remain at number one till then.
