Babar Azam vs Virat Kohli T20I: Babar Azam, the former captain of Pakistan cricket team, has finally got his long-awaited role. Babar Azam has now become the second highest run-getter in T20 internationals. So far, he was ranked third, but now he has overtaken Virat Kohli and moved to the second spot. Only Rohit Sharma, the former T20 captain of the Indian cricket team, is ahead of him. However, they are far ahead and if Babar wants to overtake Rohit, he will have to wait a while.
Rohit Sharma ranks first and Babar ranks second
