If Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam is told that he is becoming the king of records, then probably it will not be wrong. Babar, who broke many records with his bat in the second T20 International match against New Zealand on Saturday, also achieved a great achievement in captaincy.
Babar Azam broke the record of former India captain MS Dhoni, which got maximum attention of the fans. Under the leadership of Babar Azam, Pakistan won the 42nd victory in T20 International cricket. Babar has so far captained 68 T20 International matches, winning 42 and losing 21. 5 matches did not result.
BABAR BREAKS MS DHONI RECORD
Babar Azam broke the record of MS Dhoni, who captained in 72 T20 Internationals. Dhoni’s captaincy had 41 wins and 32 losses. One match tied and two matches ended in no result. Babar Azam is now just one step away from becoming the most successful T20 International captain in the world.
Babar Azam joins special club
Azam has joined the list of captains with most wins in T20 International cricket. Former England captain Eoin Morgan (42) and former Afghanistan captain Asghar Stanikzai (42) are currently on top. Babur has equaled both these captains. Pakistan has to play three more T20 International matches against New Zealand and in such a situation, Babar Azam will surely make this record his name.
