This historic feat was achieved during Pakistan's final match against Ireland in the T20I series, where Babar delivered a match-winning performance, scoring an impressive 75 runs.

Babar Azam's consistency and ability to convert starts into substantial scores have been exemplary, evident from his three T20I centuries compared to Virat Kohli's one century in T20Is.
Moreover, the 29-year-old is on the cusp of achieving another significant milestone by becoming the first Pakistani cricketer to surpass the 4000-run mark in T20I cricket.
