Babar Azam breaks Kohli records

With his knock in the third PAK v AUS game, the former Pakistan captain now has 4,192 runs to his name in the shorter format, while Virat Kohli has amassed 4,188 runs before his retirement after the T20World Cup 2024.

Babar Azam needs 40 runs more to surpass India’s Rohit Sharma who sits at the top, having scored 4,231 runs.

It is worth mentioning here that the former Pakistan captain continues to play for Pakistan in the T20Is, while both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from the format after they helped win their team lift the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Pakistan white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan is only the second Pakistan batter to occupy a spot in the list for 10 batters with the most runs in the format.
