Peshawar Zalmi’s star captain Babar Azam has etched his name in the record books once again, becoming the fastest batter in men’s T20 history to reach 12,000 runs. This remarkable milestone was achieved during PSL 11’s high-stakes match against Karachi Kings at the National Stadium, where Babar Azam entered the contest just 13 runs shy of the coveted mark. He sealed the deal in spectacular fashion by hitting a six over mid-on off Khushdil Shah in the fourth over of the innings. With this achievement, Babar Azam has joined an exclusive group of 12 elite batters, including Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, David Warner, and Shoaib Malik, who have crossed the 12,000-run threshold in men’s T20 cricket. What sets Babar’s achievement apart is the breathtaking speed at which he achieved it, reaching the milestone in a mere 338 innings. This feat not only surpasses Chris Gayle’s record of 343 innings but also positions Babar Azam ahead of Virat Kohli and David Warner in the pursuit of this milestone. As one of the most prolific run-scorers in the T20 format, Babar’s latest achievement further solidifies his reputation as a modern great of the game. With Chris Gayle still reigning supreme at the top of the all-time men’s T20 run charts, Babar Azam’s remarkable feat underlines his status as one of Pakistan’s finest white-ball batters. The milestone comes at a pivotal time for Zalmi, with Babar Azam once again shouldering the responsibility of leading the team’s batting charge in PSL 11.
