Babar Azam Closing in on Sehwag’s Record
Babar Azam has a golden opportunity to overtake Sehwag on an elite list of batters with the most international runs against the West Indies. Sehwag accumulated 1,724 runs in 44 innings against the Caribbean side across all formats. Meanwhile, Babar has already scored 1,689 runs in just 38 innings, making him just 36 runs shy of surpassing Sehwag.
Given that Babar will likely bat twice in the final Test, he has a strong chance to climb two places up in the rankings and solidify his dominance against the West Indies.
Babar’s Struggles in the First Test
Despite his stellar record against the West Indies, Babar endured a tough outing in the first Test. Following his impressive performances in Pakistan’s recent series against South Africa, the former captain managed only 13 runs across two innings in Multan.
Babar will be eager to bounce back and play a crucial role in Pakistan’s quest for a series whitewash. With the final Test set to begin on Saturday, he will be determined to silence critics and reclaim his top form on home soil.
Will Babar Azam rewrite history and surpass Virender Sehwag in the second Test? All will be revealed in Multan!
