Babar Azam Overtakes Virat Kohli as T20I's Leading Run-Scorer

Pakistan's Skipper Climbs to the Top in Hobart

Azam's Steady Accumulation Proves Fruitful

In a significant milestone for Pakistan cricket, Babar Azam has surpassed Virat Kohli to become the leading run-scorer in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). The achievement came during Pakistan's clash against Australia in Hobart, where Azam's knock of 66 runs helped him reach the historic landmark.

Azam's rise to the top has been a result of his consistent performances and steady accumulation of runs. The right-handed batter has been a mainstay in the Pakistan batting lineup and has played a pivotal role in their recent success in the shortest format of the game.

The Pakistan captain has now amassed 3355 runs in 99 T20I innings, surpassing Kohli's tally of 3308 runs in 115 innings. Azam's impressive average of 42.95 and strike rate of 128.73 highlight his ability to score runs quickly while maintaining a solid technique.

Kohli, who has long been regarded as one of the greatest batters in the game, will be eager to reclaim his position at the top of the T20I run-scoring charts. However, Azam's recent form suggests that he will be a tough opponent to dethrone.

The rivalry between Azam and Kohli has added an extra dimension to the already intense India-Pakistan cricketing contests. Both players are considered to be among the best in the world, and their individual achievements continue to inspire their respective teams.

As Pakistan continues its preparations for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup, Azam's leadership and batting exploits will be crucial to their success. The team will hope that he can maintain his impressive form and guide them to glory in Australia later this year.
