Babar Azam has become a known name in the Pakistan Cricket Team. In an era where most of the Pakistani batsmen are weak and others are getting old, this young cricketer is going strong in his career. In this article, we will tell you about the record Babar Azam created last night in a match against New Zealand.
Last night Pakistan beat New Zealand by a comfortable 6 wickets in hand. The main reason for that win was Babar Azam’s ton. He scored an unbeaten 103 hitting the 10th century of his ODI career. When he scored 29 runs, he became the 2nd fastest batsmen in the world to achieve this milestone. The first one is Hashim Amla who scored 3000 runs in 57 innings. Not just this, Babar has created some more wonderful records.
Due to this victory, Pakistan becomes the team to break New Zealand’s winning streak.
He has been the third fastest to reach 1,000 ODI runs and the second fastest to join 2,000 runs. Also, while reaching 3,000 runs in 70 matches and 68 innings. He beat Sir Viv Richards Record by achieving this milestone. Even though Virat Kohli is the best batsmen in the world, his name comes at 10th when it comes to reaching 3,000 runs.
Babar Azam, in an interview, said that Virat Kohli is his main inspiration and he one day aspires to become like him. Babar Azam has been really consistent in this World Cup. This is evident from his knocks of 22, 63, 30, 48, 69 and 103. He is the highest run scorer for Pakistan in this World Cup.
Other cricketers like Shikhar Dhawan and Gary Kirsten took 72 innings to reach this milestone. even though Babar belongs to our enemy country, we still can’t ignore the good record he has maintained in his small career till now. The main question is, will he be able to take his side to semis so that we can witness yet another thrilling India Vs Pakistan match like that in CWC 2011?
