Pakistan’s cricket superstar Babar Azam has written his name in history once again. He has become the first Asian player to score over 3,000 runs in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). This achievement highlights his skill, consistency, and leadership in Pakistan’s Test setup.
Babar reached this milestone during the ongoing Test series. His composed batting and elegant stroke play have been key for Pakistan since the WTC began in 2019. In addition, his calm mindset under pressure has made him one of the most reliable batters in world cricket.
A Journey of Class and Consistency
Babar’s path to 3,000 WTC runs is full of memorable innings. He has scored match-saving knocks on tough pitches and crafted fluent hundreds that display his trademark cover drives. Therefore, it’s no surprise that cricket fans admire his graceful yet powerful style.
Crossing this mark places him among legends like Joe Root, Steve Smith, and Marnus Labuschagne. However, no other Asian batter — not even Virat Kohli or Kane Williamson — has reached this milestone yet. This makes his achievement even more special.
Experts praise Babar for adapting to all formats, but his Test record truly shines. Despite challenging conditions, he maintains a strong average and continues to lead by example.
As the new WTC cycle continues, Babar’s run count is likely to rise. His leadership and form will play a big role in Pakistan’s push for a WTC Final spot.
Fans across the world celebrate this proud moment, and one thing is certain — Babar Azam’s journey is far from over.
