Babar Azam Shines in Epic Comeback
In a stunning display of skill and determination, Babar Azam marked his return to T20I cricket by eclipsing Rohit Sharma's world record for most runs in the format. This achievement occurred during Pakistan's impressive nine-wicket victory over South Africa, leveling the series at 1-1 on October 30.
Babar's Historic Knock
In this match at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, Babar scored 11 runs off 18 balls, remaining unbeaten while Saim Ayub led the charge with a remarkable 71 runs. Babar's total has now reached an astonishing 4,234 runs in T20I cricket.
T20I Run Scorers

| Rohit Sharma | 4,229 | 120 | 32.58 | 140.89 |
This record-breaking moment signifies a shift in the cricketing landscape, as Babar ascends to the top, ending India's long-lasting dominance among T20I run-scorers.
The End of an Era
With Babar now leading the charts, the Indian contingent, formerly featuring Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar at the helm in other formats, finds a formidable rival in the Pakistani captain. This underscores a significant moment in cricket history, one where the dynamics of top batting standings are visibly altered.
