Pakistan captain Babar Azam has surpassed Virat Kohli to become the all-time leading run-scorer in T20Is. Babar reached this milestone during the T20 World Cup opener against USA on June 6, Thursday. Pakistan’s white-ball captain overtook Indian batter Virat Kohli’s record during the match against co-hosts USA. Babar Azam has now emerged as the leading run-scorer in short-format cricket, surpassing both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who previously had more runs than him. In the 11th over of the game, Babar hit a boundary, crossing the 15-run mark and breaking Virat Kohli’s long-standing world record. Babar now holds the title of the highest run-getter in T20I cricket history.
Virat Kohli, after making just one run against Ireland in India’s opening T20 World Cup game, has a tally of 4038 runs in 118 matches (110 innings) at an average of 51.11 and a strike rate of 137.95. Meanwhile, Babar’s average is 41.34 with a strike rate of 129.82. Babar, Kohli, and Rohit Sharma are the only players with over 4000 runs in T20I cricket.

During the recent four-match T20I series against England, which ended 2-0 in England’s favor with two matches washed out due to rain, the 29-year-old Babar became the first Pakistani batter to score 4,000 runs in T20I cricket. He also became the only captain to score 2500 T20I runs, distinguishing himself as a top player and leader.
Babar, Kohli, and Rohit all have these records in their sights as India faces Pakistan in New York on Sunday, June 9. Rohit Sharma became the fourth player to enter the 4000-run club with a half-century against Ireland on Wednesday, June 5.
