Babar Azam breaks T20 world record

Babar Azam plays a shot. - PCBPakistan’s star batter Babar Azam has become the fastest batter to 10,000 runs in T20 history. Azam achieved the feat in 271 innings during the match against Karachi Kings during the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL). He broke Chris Gayle’s record, who took 285 innings. The prolific right-hander is leading Peshawar Zalmi during the ongoing PSL 9. Before the match against Kings, Azam needed just six runs to achieve the milestone — which he did successfully. Azam has played T20 cricket for 19 teams during his career, so far. Fewest innings to 10,000 runs 271 – Babar Azam285 – Chris Gayle299 – Virat Kohli303 – David Warner327 – Aaron Finch350 – Jos ButtlerIt must be noted that Karachi captain Shan Masood won the toss and decided to bowl first against Peshawar. "Good toss to lose, to be honest, we wanted to bat first. Pitch looks good so we will look to put runs on the board. We started well but could't finish well (in the last game). Hopefully, we will get it right today," Azam said at the toss.  TeamsPeshawar Zalmi: Saim Ayub, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Haris (wk), Tom Kohler Cadmore, Rovman Powell, Asif Ali, Aamer Jamal, Luke Wood, Mohammad Zeeshan, Waqar Salamkheil, Salman IrshadKarachi Kings: Shan Masood (c), Mohammad Akhlaq (wk), James Vince, Shoaib Malik, Kieron Pollard, Mohammad Nawaz, Irfan Khan Niazi, Daniel Sams, Hasan Ali, Mir Hamza, Tabraiz Shamsi Faizan Lakhani Faizan Lakhani is Deputy Editor (Sports) at Geo News. Babar Azam Comments Submit Farasat baig commented 11 months agoMashaAllah but for Pakistan, Babar Azam's record is on declining mode. He is good player but he needs to score runs for Pakistan rather than league. Reply مضمون کا ماخذ: اسکریچ کارڈز خریدیں
