Pakistan’s white-ball captain, Babar Azam, showcased his masterclass with a scintillating 75-run knock from just 42 balls, propelling his team to a resounding six-wicket victory in the final T20I against Ireland.
With this emphatic win, Pakistan clinched the series 2-1, marking yet another milestone in the illustrious career of Babar Azam.
Babar’s stellar performance in the final T20I not only secured victory for Pakistan but also etched his name in the annals of cricketing history.
His innings marked his 39th score of fifty-plus in T20I cricket, surpassing Indian stalwart Virat Kohli to become the batter with the most fifty-plus scores in T20Is, with a remarkable tally of 36 fifties and 3 centuries.
Azm and Kohli are followed by Indian captain Rohit Sharma (34) and Pakistan’s wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan (29) in the list of most 50+ scores in T20Is.
The statistical supremacy of Babar Azam in T20Is is further highlighted by his partnership with the prolific batter and his trusted aide Rizwan, forming one of the most formidable batting pairs in the format.
Together, they achieved a monumental milestone by becoming the first duo to amass 3,000 partnership runs, accompanied by an unprecedented feat of 10-century stands.
While Babar boasts the distinction of participating in 17th-century partnerships, the recent match marked Rizwan’s 13th-century partnership, reaffirming their unparalleled synergy at the crease.
Beyond individual accolades, Babar’s leadership prowess shone through once again as he extended his tally of most victories as captain, solidifying his status as the most successful captain in T20I history.
