Babar Azam is now Pakistan’s fastest-ever 10,000-run international batsman.
While playing in all three formats of the game this year, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has been on fire. On the second day of Pakistan’s first Test against Sri Lanka, Babar became the fastest Pakistani batsman to reach 10,000 international runs. Javed Miandad came in second with 10,000 international runs, although Babar required just 228 innings to get there, 20 fewer innings than Miandad.
Mohammad Yousuf attained the feat in 261 innings, while Saeed Anwar took 255 innings. To reach 10,000 international runs, former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq needed 281 innings.
Only Joe Root, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith are ahead of Babar in the Test rankings at the moment.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq is 14 points ahead of Rishabh Pant in fifth place.
Before this week, Babar had a lot of people’s hearts because of his support for Virat Kohli throughout his slump.
Ahead of the first Test against Sri Lanka, Babar was questioned about his tweet regarding Virat Kohli at a news conference. “When I was a player, I went through a period where I was out of form, and I know what it’s like to be a player in such a situation. You’ll need help in those situations. I only tweeted in the hope that it would provide a little bit of encouragement. There are few better players than him “During a news conference, Babar made a statement.
“These kinds of scenarios are familiar to him because he has a lot of cricket experience. Investing in athletes over the long term will pay off handsomely “Then he said something.
Babar and Kohli are two of the top hitters in the world right now, and fans constantly debate which one has a better cover drive.
