5 records of Virat Kohli that can be broken by Babar Azam in the near future
Babar Azam has been a revelation for Pakistan, a reason why he is currently the national skipper across three formats.
5. Most ODI centuries in run chases
Another tag that Virat Kohli has earned in ODI cricket is the ‘Chase Master.’ The Indian cricket team has won a majority of their matches while chasing a target when Kohli gets going. Virat Kohli has aggregated 7,149 runs at an average of 68.09 in the second innings of ODI cricket.
Kohli’s strike rate in the second innings of ODIs is 94.46, while he has recorded 26 centuries in run-chases. He holds the record for the most ODI centuries in run chases. Babar Azam has scored three centuries in the second innings of ODI matches at a brilliant batting average of 51.13.
Azam needs 24 centuries more to surpass Virat Kohli’s record. While Virat can still score a few ODI centuries in run-chases, Babar has more years of cricket left in him. Thus, these are the five records of Kohli that could be broken by Babar Azam.
