Babar Azam Attested Class is Permanent, Bags More Records
Edgbaston has become a good luck charm for the right-handed batsman as it is his second ton in the second consecutive ODI game at the ground
Although a full-strength Pakistani side was whitewashed by a young English unit, Babar Azam proved that the class is permanent and why he is the top ODI batsman in the world.
Edgbaston has become a good luck charm for the right-handed batsman as it is his second ton in the second consecutive ODI game at the ground.
Pakistani skipper had scored a century when he last played at Edgbaston against New Zealand in 2019.
The fans were also delighted to see their skipper scoring yet another century and that too on English soil.

With 14th ODI century in 3rd ODI against England, Babar becomes the fastest to reach the milestone for which he took just 81 innings.
He is followed by Meg Lanning, 82 innings, Hashim Amla, 84, David Warner, 98, and Virat Kohli, 103.
He also registered the record of the highest score by a Pakistani captain in the 50-over format. Previously, it was held by Shoaib Malik, 125 not out.
Besides this, Babar’s 158 was also the highest score by a Pakistani batsman in England which was previously held by Imam-ul-Haq who scored 151.
It was also the highest score by any captain in a bilateral series on the English soil.
Babar Azam also became the first Pakistani captain in 38 years to score an ODI ton in England. The previous one was Imran Khan in 1983.
