Pakistan captain Babar Azam Friday became the fastest to score 1,000 T20I runs as captain, breaking another record of his Indian counterpart Virat Kohli during the Pakistan vs Afghanistan match at the ongoing T20 World Cup.
Kohli, as the captain of the Indian cricket team, had taken 30 innings to score 1,000 T20I runs, while Azam scored 1,000 T20I runs in 26 innings.
Meanwhile, Pakistan national squad broke another world record during the Friday clash when wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan equalled the record of former Indian captain and legendary cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
