After a commanding ODI series win against South Africa, Pakistan now shifts its attention to the West Indies, preparing for an important two-match Test series at home. This series marks the conclusion of Pakistan’s World Test Championship cycle, with star batter Babar Azam taking center stage.
Babar, who has been a linchpin in Pakistan’s batting lineup, is on the brink of surpassing one of the country’s cricketing legends, Imran Khan, in the all-time run tally against the West Indies. With 1,676 runs to his name across all formats, Babar is just 302 runs away from surpassing Imran Khan’s 1,977 runs against the Caribbean side.

Beyond the run tally, Babar Azam is also set to break another significant record. Both he and Imran Khan currently share the same number of half-centuries (11) against the West Indies. A single fifty in the upcoming series will see Babar move past the legendary all-rounder in yet another prestigious category.
Babar Azam has been in great form recently, showing his class in Pakistan’s recent series against South Africa. His average of 48.25 in the series, highlighted by three half-centuries, underscores his value as Pakistan’s leading batter. This upcoming series will be crucial for Babar as he eyes new milestones and aims to lead his team to victory.
