Babar Azam on the verge of creating a new record
Babar Azam Test Records: Pakistan cricket superstar Babar Azam is ready to take the field once again. The Bangladesh team is currently in Pakistan and the first match of the series is to be played from August 21. Babar Azam may not be the captain of the Test team anymore, but even then he is still counted among the big players of the team. Meanwhile, if Babar Azam’s bat works, he can make some big records in his name.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test Series
A two-Test series is about to start between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Shan Masood has been made the new captain of the team. Babar Azam has so far scored 3898 runs in 94 innings of 52 Test matches in Test cricket. His average is 45.85, while he is batting at a strike rate of 54.86 in this format. That is, Babar Azam is now close to completing his four thousand Test runs. Babar Azam needs only 102 runs to reach this milestone. Which is not a difficult task for a player like Babar Azam to cross in four innings.
Opportunity to overtake Majid Khan and Hanif Mohammad
So far, a total of 11 Pakistani batsmen have scored 4,000 runs in Tests. Now Babar Azam has the chance to become the 12th player. If Babar Azam scores 4,000 runs in this series, he will also surpass Majid Khan and Hanif Mohammad. Majid Khan has scored 3931 runs in his Test career and Hanif Mohammad has scored 3915 runs. Former opener Saeed Anwar has scored 4052 runs in Test cricket. Babar Azam can surpass him as well.
Younis Khan has scored the most Test runs for Pakistan
Younis Khan has scored the most runs in Test cricket for Pakistan. He has scored 10099 runs in 118 Tests for Pakistan. Apart from him, no other Pakistani player has been able to score ten thousand runs in Tests. Javed Miandad and Inzamam-ul-Haq have scored more than eight thousand runs.
