Can Babar Azam surpass Rohit Sharma's world record despite his recent struggles?

New Delhi: Pakistan's cricket star Babar Azam is currently facing a rough patch on the field. He recently lost his captaincy and is now solely focusing on his performance as a player. Despite his efforts, Babar has been struggling to score runs consistently. Babar Azam has been eyeing to break Rohit Sharma's world record for some time now, but has yet to achieve this milestone. While the target may not be too high for him to reach, Babar is finding it challenging to surpass this record.

Actually, Rohit Sharma is the highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals at the moment. He has scored 4231 runs in 159 T20 International matches during his career. After winning the T20 World Cup title, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from this format. That is, since then, there has been no increase in the number of his runs, despite this his record is still intact.

Babar Azam is very close to Rohit Sharma:
Babar Azam is currently at number two on this list. Babar Azam has scored 4129 runs in 127 T20 International matches so far. That is, Babar needs only 40 more runs from here to overtake Rohit Sharma and reach the first position. But he is not able to score even these runs. In the first match of the T20 series being played between Pakistan and South Africa, Babar Azam got out without opening his account and after this, his wait is increasing.

Babar Azam is a complete flop:
If we talk about the last four T20 International matches, Babar Azam has been able to cross the double-digit mark only once, the rest of the time he is getting out in single digits. Be it T20, ODI or Test. Babar Azam is not scoring runs in any format. However, there are still two more matches left in the South Africa series. It remains to be seen whether Babar Azam is able to score so many runs in these two matches that he can beat Rohit Sharma or we have to wait for a few more days.
