DUBAI: Pakistan skipper Babar Azam on Friday equaled another T20 record earlier held by India’s Virat Kohli — most T20 50s as captain — with a half-century against Afghanistan in last night’s thriller of a T20 World Cup match up.
The star Pakistani batter has now scored 13 half-centuries in the shortest format as captain — equaling Kohli’s record, but at a better rate.
It took Azam only 26 innings to reach the milestone, while the Indian skipper has scored as many in 44 innings.
Aaron Finch of Australia and Kane Williamson of New Zealand are next in line, having scored 11 half-centuries in 51 and 50 innings, respectively.
Meanwhile, England’s Eoin Morgan has scored nine half-centuries in 60 innings.
