Babar Azam Surpasses Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle To Register Huge T20 Record

Pakistan star Babar Azam on Wednesday surpassed the likes of Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli to become the fastest batter to reach the milestone of 10,000 T20 runs. He is the fastest to achieve the feat in terms of all - innings, matches and time taken. Babar raced to the landmark during his 72-run knock in his team Peshawar Zalmi's seven-wicket defeat to Karachi Kings in Pakistan Super League. Ahead of the game in Lahore, Babar was only six short of the 10,000-run mark. Babar got there in 271 innings, 281 matches, and 11 years and 82 days.

West Indies legend Gayle reached the milestone in 285 innings, 290 matches, and 11 years and 215 days. Meanwhile, star India batter Kohli achieved it in 299 innings, 314 matches, and 14 years and 176 days.

Former Pakistan team director Mohammad Hafeez recently disclosed details about the conversation he had with star batters Babar and Mohammad Rizwan during the recently concluded T20I series against New Zealand.
