Babar Azam vs Virat Kohli: Pakistan skipper sets THIS incredible record in T20 World Cup

Pakistan skipper Babar has also been in sizzling form with the bat, scoring 198 runs in four matches with three fifties at an average of over 66 and strike-rate of 124.5.

Babar Azam and his Pakistan team have been on a roll since the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 got underway last month. After their fourth win on the trot – the latest one over Namibia on Tuesday (November 2) – Pakistan have stormed into the semifinal ahead of India, New Zealand and Afghanistan from Group 2.

Skipper Babar has also been in sizzling form with the bat, scoring 198 runs in four matches with three fifties at an average of over 66 and strike-rate of 124.5. With his third fifty of the tournament against Namibia, Babar became the first captain to score three fifties in a single T20 World Cup campaign ahead of the likes of Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson.

In Pakistan’s opening game of the tournament against India, Babar scored an unbeaten 68 as he and fellow opener Mohammad Rizwan helped their team secure a 10-wicket win over Kohli’s side. It was also Pakistan’s first win against India in a World Cup match – in T20 or 50-over format.
