Pakistan vs Australia test match came to a historic end when Babar Azam & Muhammad Rizwan made sure Pakistanis leave the stadium with their heads held high. Babar Azam played like a true skipper and fans were on the edge of their seats to witness him make a double century. He was only 4 runs away from it but fate (the Australian team) had other plans. Then came Rizwan, who not only made a century but also made sure till the very last ball that the match is drawn.
Babar Azam’s brilliant innings have broken not one, not two but three records! The 196 runs he made in the fourth innings are the highest made by any Pakistani batsman and captain! Not only that but he played 425 balls which is the longest fourth innings played by a Pakistani batsman. (Dawn)
His performance has garnered praise from all over the world, and his fans are of course, over the moon as well! Babar has been trending on Twitter since last night and here’s what people are raving about!
It’s King Babar’s Cricket Era & We Are Just Living in It!
British High Commissioner to Pakistan, Christain Turner, summed it up for us.
“Hum 👑 @babarazam258 kae cricket era main jee rahe haen. Zabardast batting to save the 2nd Test match. Great sportsmanship all around from 🇵🇰 & 🇦🇺. Looking forward to the Autumn…”
Prime Minister Imran Khan Was All Praises
“Congratulations to Babar Azam for leading the Pak team in a tremendous fightback with a superb captain’s inning & world class batting display; & congratulations to the rest of the team too in the way they fought back, especially Rizwan & Shafique.”
Greatest Of All Time Indeed!
“Babar Azam batted 603 mins to save the match against the highest ranked Test team (Australia) and bowler (Pat Cummins). Few months ago, he was the highest run-getter in T20 World Cup. Also, number one in the ODI Rankings. The reason he is the best all-format batter in the world.”
“Incredible 💯 given the circumstances @babarazam258 #PAKvAUS”
Some Losses Are Better Than Gains
“Babar Azam may have missed out on a double century but has gained entry into the galaxy of batting greats methinks”

Babar Azam makes sure to never disappoint whenever he is on the field! He is a Pakistani player ranked number one on ICC Men’s ODI Batting Rankings who broke three records in a test match. We are wondering what record he is going to break next. Way to go, Babar!
