Babar Azam completed 3000 runs in T20Is, becoming the fifth men’s player and eighth overall to the milestone in the format, and also the joint-quickest to it alongside Virat Kohli

Azam joins an elite list of T20I batters in the 3000-run club. India duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli head the run tally in men’s T20Is with more than 3000 runs. Martin Guptill and Paul Stirling are the others in the club.

However, Azam recorded 3000 runs in 81 innings, equalling Virat Kohli’s record in the format. Kohli and Azam are the only two batters to reach the milestone in less than 100 innings.
