Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam is on the cusp of surpassing former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag’s remarkable record in the second Test against West Indies. Following their dominant win in the first Test in Multan, Pakistan aims to seal the series in the decider, starting Saturday.
Babar Azam Eyes Sehwag’s Record
Babar Azam is just 36 runs away from overtaking Virender Sehwag’s tally of 1,724 international runs against West Indies. Sehwag achieved this feat in 44 innings across all formats, while Babar has accumulated 1,689 runs in 38 innings. With the possibility of batting twice in the second Test, Babar has an excellent chance to leapfrog Sehwag on this elite list.
A Chance for Redemption
Babar’s performance in the first Test was underwhelming. Despite shining in the recent series against South Africa, he managed just 13 runs across two innings in Multan, continuing his struggles in home Tests. However, the upcoming match offers him the perfect stage to regain form and lead Pakistan to a historic clean sweep against the visitors.
The stakes are high as Babar not only aims to achieve personal milestones but also to inspire his team to finish the series on a high note. Fans will be eager to see if he can rise to the occasion and rewrite the record books while steering Pakistan to another emphatic victory.
