Pakistan's cricket sensation, Babar Azam, made history on Wednesday by becoming the fastest batter to reach 10,000 T20 runs, surpassing cricket giants Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli. Babar achieved this milestone during his exceptional 72-run innings while playing for Peshawar Zalmi against Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League. His remarkable feat was accomplished in just 271 innings, 281 matches, and 11 years and 82 days, setting new benchmarks in terms of innings, matches, and time taken.

Comparatively, West Indies legend Chris Gayle reached the 10,000-run mark in 285 innings, 290 matches, and 11 years and 215 days, while Indian cricket maestro Virat Kohli achieved it in 299 innings, 314 matches, and 14 years and 176 days. Babar's incredible achievement underscores his exceptional talent and prowess in the world of cricket.

Former Pakistan team director, Mohammad Hafeez, recently shared insights into his conversation with Babar and Mohammad Rizwan during the T20I series against New Zealand. Despite facing challenges, Pakistan managed to avoid a whitewash in the series, ending with a 4-1 scoreline. Babar showcased glimpses of his peak form during the series, notably scoring 57, 66, and 58 in the first three games, accumulating a total of 213 runs at an average of 42.6.

Hafeez emphasized the importance of each player's contribution to the team's success during his conversation with Babar. He suggested positional changes for both Rizwan and Babar to enhance the team's performance. While acknowledging Babar's talent and potential, Hafeez urged him to consider batting at the number three position instead of opening, citing his successful role in ODI cricket over the past six years.

Babar's achievement highlights his exceptional skill and dedication to the sport, propelling him to the forefront of international cricket. As he continues to rewrite records and inspire cricket enthusiasts worldwide, Babar Azam remains a beacon of talent and excellence in the cricketing realm.
