Pakistan skipper, Babar Azam, has added further fame to his name by beating the likes of Virat Kohli and other big names in terms of the highest number of runs scored across all T20Is since 2019.
Stylistically speaking, Babar hit a remarkable 1,004 T20I runs across 26 innings, which is 12 runs more than India’s top-order batsman, Virat Kohli, who scored 992 runs. Ireland’s hard-hitting opening batsman, Paul Stirling, comes in third, with an impressive 943 runs during this time.
