LAHORE: Pakistan star batter Babar Azam on Friday surpassed former India captain Rohit Sharma to become the all-time leading run-scorer in men’s T20Is. Babar achieved the milestone during Pakistan’s second T20I of the three-match series against South Africa, underway here at the Gaddafi Stadium. The star batter, who entered the fixture with 4223 runs, required just nine runs to surpass Sharma’s tally of 4231. Babar got off to a flamboyant start to his knock as he smashed Corbin Bosch for a boundary through his trademark cover drive, but scored four more off the next 10 deliveries as his batting partner, Saim Ayub, was dominating the South African bowlers. 🏏 Babar Azam becomes the leading run-scorer in T20 Internationals 💪#PAKvSA | #GreenPeYaqeen | #BackTheBoysInGreen pic.twitter.com/950amHyfTV He ultimately scored the decisive run on the first delivery of the 12th over of Pakistan’s innings by working one off South Africa captain Donovan Ferreira for a single towards the long-off.
