Babar Azam T20I Milestone (3,700 Runs): Pakistan’s skipper, Babar Azam, is primed to lead his team in the upcoming five-match Pakistan vs New Zealand T20I Series, starting on April 18th. As he prepares for captaincy duties, Azam is on the cusp of a significant T20I milestone.
Currently boasting 3,698 runs in T20I cricket, Babar sits just behind Virat Kohli (4,037) and Rohit Sharma (3,974) in the all-time T20I run-scorers list. With only 340 runs needed to surpass Kohli, this Pakistan vs New Zealand T20I Series presents a golden opportunity for Azam to etch his name in the record books.
