Babar Azam just broke a big record, but few people noticed at first, it’s a bigger achievement than it seems.
When big names like Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle are mentioned, you know something major has happened.
Babar Azam becomes the fastest to 12,000 T20 runs, reaching the milestone in just 338 innings and breaking the previous record.
Chris Gayle previously held the record, reaching 12,000 T20 runs in 343 innings, and he remains the highest run-scorer in T20s to date.
Virat Kohli took 360 innings to reach this milestone. Babar not only surpassed Gayle but also moved ahead of Kohli in this elite race.
Very few players reach 10,000 T20 runs. Being the fastest shows Babar’s steady performance over many years and formats.
Now that Babar has hit this milestone, even bigger records could follow. The big question returns: Is Babar the new T20 king?
