In the first ODI against the West Indies on Wednesday, Pakistan captain Babar Azam broke another great record by former Indian captain Virat Kohli, creating history.
Actually, Pakistan’s Babar Azam has become the fastest batsman to score 1000 runs in ODI as captain by playing a 103-run innings against West Indies. Previously, King Kohli had scored the fastest 1,000 runs as captain in all 17 innings. However, Babar Azam broke Kohli’s record in his 13th inning.
Babar Azam, 27, has scored 1005 runs in 13 innings in ODIs with an average of 91.36. During this, his bat has scored 6 centuries and 3 half centuries. At the same time, his average was 91.36 and the unemployment rate was 103.71.
This is the 17th century of Babar Azam, the world number one batsman in ODI cricket in this format. Babar scored a centuries hat-trick for the second time in his ODI career as soon as he scored a century against West Indies. Babar, who has scored two straight centuries against Australia, had previously scored three straight centuries in 2016.
Captain Babar Azam’s 17th century record helped Pakistan beat West Indies by five wickets in the first ODI. West Indies went 305 for 8 in 50 overs after playing first. In response, Pakistan chased the target in the last over.
Chasing the target of 306 runs, captain Babar Azam scored 103, Imam-ul-Haq 65 and Mohammad Rizwan scored 59 runs for Pakistan. In the end, however, Khushdil Shah’s 41 innings that didn’t go out in 23 balls were the most important.
