Pakistan’s cricket captain, Babar Azam, is on the cusp of a significant achievement as the team gears up for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. The 29-year-old batsman is just 339 runs away from joining the elite 3,000-run club in the World Test Championship (WTC).
Having amassed 2,661 runs in WTC matches to date, Babar is already the highest run-scorer for Pakistan in the competition. Should he reach the 3,000-run milestone during the series, he will become only the fifth player in WTC history to achieve this feat.
Reaching this landmark would place Babar among the illustrious names in the history of the World Test Championship, alongside prominent players such as England’s Joe Root and Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. This accomplishment would further solidify Babar Azam’s reputation as one of the premier batsmen in the modern era of Test cricket.
