Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam has created a new history in T20 International cricket. In the third T20 match against Australia, he made such a record in his name, which till now was known by the name of Indian legend Virat Kohli. Babar has now become the batsman with the most number of half-centuries in men’s T20 International cricket.
Historic half century against Australia
In this match played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Babar Azam played an unbeaten inning of 50 runs. He completed this half-century in 36 balls, which included three fours and a six. This was the 39th half-century of Babar’s T20 International career. With this he has left behind Virat Kohli’s record of 38 half-centuries.
Virat Kohli had retired from this format after winning the T20 World Cup last year and this record remained in his name for a long time. Now Babar has reached the top of this list on the basis of his continuous excellent performance.
