Babar becomes highest T20I scorer from Pakistan

Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam on Saturday became the highest T20I scorer from the country after scoring 2,515 runs from just 64 innings, moving past Mohammad Hafeez, who had scored 2,514 runs from 108 innings, according to a news outlet.

The skipper scored only 1 run in the second T20I against Bangladesh on Saturday, but that was enough to make him the highest T20I scorer from Pakistan.

He achieved the milestone with an average of 47.43 and a strike rate of 129.78, besides scoring one century and 24 half-centuries.

In the ongoing calendar year, he has scored 834 runs in 22 innings.
