👑 The New King of T20Is: Babar Azam Breaks All-Time Run-Scoring Record
On a historic evening in Lahore, Pakistan's star batter, Babar Azam, etched his name into the record books, becoming the highest run-scorer in Men's T20 International (T20I) cricket history. The momentous occasion came as he surpassed the tally of the legendary Indian opener, Rohit Sharma, cementing his status as one of the format's modern greats.
| Player | Team | Total Runs | Matches | Centuries | Fifties |
| Babar Azam | Pakistan | 4,234+ | 130 | 3 | 36 |
| Rohit Sharma | India | 4,231 | 159 | 5 | 32 |
| Virat Kohli | India | 4,188 | 125 | 1 | 38 |
The Record-Breaking Moment
The milestone arrived during Pakistan's second T20I against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium. Entering the match just a few runs shy of the record, Babar Azam, with his characteristic poise, clipped a crisp single to long-off to move past Rohit Sharma's previous benchmark of 4,231 runs.
This achievement is more than just a number; it is a testament to Babar’s remarkable consistency in a format often defined by explosiveness and fleeting brilliance. He claimed the record in just 130 matches, highlighting a run of form and reliability that few in T20I history can match.
A Career Defined by Consistency
Babar Azam's T20I career has been a masterclass in batting technique translated into the shortest format. His accumulation of runs is built on a foundation of elegance, timing, and a near-peerless ability to anchor an innings.
