Babar Azam, Pakistan’s prolific cricketer, has etched his name in cricket history by becoming the third batter to score 4,000 runs in all three formats of the game.
He achieved this remarkable milestone during the first Test against South Africa, although he was dismissed for just 4 runs in the first innings. Babar has been a key figure for Pakistan across all formats, amassing 9 centuries and 26 half-centuries in Test cricket, with a career-best score of 196. His journey to 4,000 runs in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 (T20) formats had already been accomplished before this Test.
Babar’s consistency and adaptability across different formats of the game have earned him recognition as one of the finest modern-day cricketers.
His accomplishment highlights his crucial role in Pakistan’s cricketing success and continues to inspire future generations of cricketers.
