Babar Azam has been Pakistan's premier batter for the past few years. The 29-year-old has bailed Pakistan out on numerous occasions throughout his career. As we approach the T20I World Cup 2024, Babar Azam and Pakistan would hope to resonate the success from 2009. 

Babar Azam has guided Pakistan to victory across all formats of cricket. However, his record in T20Is is one to behold. Azam is one of the best batsmen of the modern game, and has proved his mettle in the past on more than one occasion.

Babar Azam, as many Pakistan fans have touted, is the best batsman for their nation in recent times. Babar's contribution to Pakistan in T20Is is unmatched, and he remains to be their best bet, regardless not being the captain anymore. 

What is Babar Azam's T20I record in winning causes?

Babar Azam has batted in 100 T20I matches for Pakistan. Out of those 100, Pakistan has tasted victories on 65 occasions and defeat in 34. Babar's record in winning causes is that of a champion batter!

Babar Azam has scored 2463 runs in winning causes, averaging at 42.00. 22 of his 32 half-centuries have been recorded in a victorious occasion. All of his hundreds have led to a win, too.

What is Babar Azam's overall T20I record for Pakistan?

Babar Azam has played 106 T20Is for Pakistan, having walked out to bat on 100 occasions. Azam has scored over 3600 runs, averaging nearly 42. He has remained unbeaten on 14 occasions and guided them to a victory on 65 instances.

Babar has scored 32 half-centuries and three centuries in T20I cricket. This proves that Babar can play the anchor role, and is not the most aggressive of batters. Babar has a different skill set, and prefers to bat deep rather than striking from the get-go.
