Babar Azam T20I Career: A series of three T20 matches is ongoing between Pakistan and South Africa. The African team won the first game of the series by 11 points and took a 1-0 lead. Now the second game between the two teams will be played on December 13. In the first match, Pakistan’s superstar batsman Babar Azam’s missteps proved disastrous as he was dismissed on four balls without opening his account. Babar and Virat Kohli are both the best batsmen in cricket. Fans often compare the two. Both men’s figures were shared on social media. Now Babar has a chance to overtake Kohli.
Babar has a chance to surpass Kohli
Virat Kohli was part of the Indian team that won the 2024 T20 World Cup. Thereafter, he retired from T20 international cricket. And Babar Azam is still playing T20I cricket. The two batsmen have combined to score 50-plus runs in T20 international cricket so far, with a total of 39-39 runs. If Babar scores a half-century in the second T20 against Africa, he will become the highest fifty-plus scorer in T20Is.

- Virat Kohli- 39 times
- Babar Azam – 39 times
- Rohit Sharma – 37 times
- Mohammad Rizwan – 31 times

Rohit Sharma could also be left behind
Rohit Sharma is the highest run-scoring batsman in T20 international cricket. He has 4231 games registered to his name. Babar Azam ranks second. He has scored 4192 runs in T20 international cricket. Now, if he scores another 40 runs in the second T20 match, he will become the highest scorer in T20I cricket.
