It looks like Pakistan’s batting maestro, Babar Azam is on a mission to rewrite history. With a recent victory against New Zealand in Rawalpindi, his tally as captain has climbed to a staggering 79 wins, placing him just ten victories shy of the legendary Imran Khan’s record.
Babar Azam’s record-breaking journey!
At only 29 years old, Babar Azam has already surpassed Wasim Akram, another Pakistani cricketing giant, to become the second most successful captain in the nation’s history. This rapid ascent is a testament to his leadership qualities and tactical acumen.
The coveted record held by Imran Khan, who led Pakistan to their historic World Cup win in 1992, now seems within reach for Azam. This adds an extra layer of intrigue as Pakistan gears up for the upcoming T20I World Cup 2024.
