Pakistan’s Babar Azam rewrites history by scoring record number of fours in Twenty20 internationals

Pakistan captain Babar Azam rewrote history by breaking the record for the most number of fours in men's T20I history.

During Pakistan's thrilling win in the final over against New Zealand in the fifth T20I in Lahore on April 27, Babar played a splendid knock of 69 off 44 balls, which helped Pakistan's stalwart batter break the record for most fours in men's T20I. In his effortless display with the bat, Babar struck six fours before Ben Sears castled him with a 145kph searing yorker.

With a tally of 409 fours in 107 innings, Babar eclipsed Ireland's experienced batter Paul Stirling's record of 407 in 136 innings. Babar and Stirling are the two players who have managed to cross the 400 mark in the history of men's T20I cricket.
