Babar Azam targets Kohli’s great record
England vs Pakistan T20I Series: Only a few days are left for the start of the T20 World Cup 2024. Although the World Cup will start from June 1, but the first match in India will be played on June 2. This is happening due to the time difference. Meanwhile, a four-match T20 series is being played between England and Pakistan, the third match of which is to be played today. Pakistan captain Babar Azam can set a new record today. He is just a little behind leaving behind former Team India captain Virat Kohli.
