Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam has achieved another historic milestone in T20 international cricket, surpassing India’s Rohit Sharma to become one of the highest run-getters in the format’s history.
The record-breaking moment came during Pakistan’s ongoing T20 campaign, where Babar’s consistent performance once again highlighted his dominance in world cricket. With his latest innings, Babar moved ahead of Rohit’s tally, a mark that had long stood as a benchmark in T20Is.
Rohit Sharma, who has been one of India’s most successful T20I captains, previously held the top spot with 4,231 runs. Babar’s latest total now places him above that number — a feat that cements his reputation as one of the modern greats of limited-overs cricket.
This achievement also follows Babar’s earlier record this year when he surpassed Virat Kohli to become the second-highest run-scorer in T20Is. Known for his elegant stroke play and composure under pressure, Babar has silenced critics who questioned his form and leadership in recent months.
The comparison between Babar and Rohit has long fueled debate among cricket fans. While Rohit’s explosive style defined India’s approach in white-ball cricket, Babar’s calm and calculated batting has become the backbone of Pakistan’s T20 lineup.
As Babar continues to rewrite record books, this milestone not only strengthens his individual legacy but also reaffirms Pakistan’s place among the powerhouses of modern T20 cricket.
