Babar Azam achieved a personal milestone during the first T20I against New Zealand in Auckland. The right-hand batter completed 3500 T20I runs during his 57-run knock from 35 balls. Currently, he stands as the third-highest run-scorer in this format, boasting a total of 3542 runs. His stellar performance places him in close proximity to the top, with only Virat Kohli (4008 runs) and Rohit Sharma (3853 runs) ahead in the list of highest run-scorers in T20 Internationals.
Meanwhile, Rizwan smashed two sixes in his 25-run knock from 14 balls, thereby equaling the record for most sixes hit by a Pakistani batter in T20 history.
With a total of 76 sixes in 74 T20I innings, Rizwan shares this impressive record with Mohammad Hafeez, who achieved the same number of sixes but over a more extended span of 108 T20 innings.
