Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is on the verge of breaking several T20I milestones. Babar Azam and Co. are set to take on Ireland in T20I series with the first match to be played on May 10. In one of the prominent records, Babar Azam might surpass Virat Kohli for most runs in T20I matches.
Most runs in T20I matches
Babar Azam needs to score 214 runs to surpass Virat Kohli for most runs in T20I matches. On the other hand, Babar surpassing Rohit for the second spot looks more realistic than Babar taking the top spot by dethroning Kohli.
- Virat Kohli: 4037 (109 innings)
- Rohit Sharma: 3974 (143)
- Babar Azam: 3823 (107)

Just one victory would make Babar Azam the most successful T20I captain. He will break the record held by Brian Masaba from Uganda, who boasts 44 wins as captain. Babar is currently tied with Masaba with 44 wins as captain.
- Babar Azam: 44 (76 matches)
- Brian Masaba: 44 (56)
- Asghar Afghan: 42 (52)
- Eoin Morgan: 42 (72)
