India vs Pakistan has always been one of the best matches in the cricket world. There are people who watch the India-Pakistan game logically and statistically, but there are also people who watch the India-Pakistan game emotionally. Recently, Indian cricket fans were a bit disappointed when Babar Azam overtook Virat Kohli in terms of T20 International runs.
This record was broken in the 3rd T20I on 18 November 2024 at Bellerive Oval, Hobart, Australia. However, the Kangaroos managed to pull off a comfortable win against the Pakistanis with 7 wickets and 52 balls remaining to clinch the T20I series 3–0 and defeat Pakistan, but Babar Azam gave his country something that May they be happy.
He scored 41 runs in 28 balls at a strike rate of 146.42 and became the second highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals. He scored 4192 runs in 41 innings.
He left Virat Kohli behind and secured himself the second position on the podium. Rohit Sharma remains on top, but Babar is just 40 runs away from breaking Rohit Sharma's record of 4231 runs in T20 Internationals.
Babar Azam is getting closer to the top spot. While the Indians will be busy with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy till January 7, 2025, Zimbabwe will host the Pakistani cricket team for a 3-match ODI and 3-match T20 series.
The first T20 will be played on December 1 and there is every possibility of Babar Azam reaching the top spot. 'Records are meant to be broken'. The game of cricket proves this. Virat, Rohit and Babar are all world-class athletes but it is a matter of time to see who will be next in line.
