Keeping in mind the preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistan cricket team has reached England to play a 4-match T20 series. In the second match of this series, Pakistani team captain Babar Azam scored 32 runs in 26 balls, due to which he has now left Indian team captain Rohit Sharma behind in terms of scoring the most runs in T20 Internationals. Babar has now reached the second position in this list, while the first position is occupied by Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli, whose record Babar Azam has also come very close to breaking.
Just 51 runs away from breaking Kohli’s record
Before the T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistan team still has to play 2 more matches of this T20 series against England, in which Babar Azam has a great opportunity to break Virat Kohli’s record as well. Babar Azam has so far scored 3987 runs in 118 matches in T20 International at an average of 41.10, in which he has three centuries and 36 half-century innings to his name. At the same time, Virat Kohli, who is at the first position in this list, has so far scored 4037 runs at an average of 51.75 in 117 matches in T20 International. In such a situation, Babar has to score 51 more runs to break Kohli’s record, which he will get a chance in the remaining 2 matches of this T20 series against England.
