Babar Azam Eyes to Subdue Kohli Yet Again

Pakistani captain Babar Azam eyes to continue his spree of milestones as he can become the fastest batsman to reach 2,000 runs in T20Is, the record which Indian Skipper Virat Kohli holds.

After completing their successful tour of South Africa, the green shirts have landed in Zimbabwe to play three T20Is and two test matches.

The first match of the shortest format of the game will be played today at Harare.

The last T20I match played at Harare was in July 2018. Pakistan faced Australia in that game and successfully scored 184 runs required to win.

Pakistani skipper only needs 60 runs to reach 2,000 T20I runs and he has five innings to do so as he has 1,940 runs to his name in just 49 innings.

Babar Azam will become the fastest player to the milestone after Virat Kohli who did in 56 innings.
