Babar Azam reaches important milestone in Test cricket

Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam crossed an important milestone in Test cricket.

Right-handed batsman Babar Azam completed 4,000 runs in Test cricket. He crossed this single mile in the first Test against South Africa.

Babar Azam needed only three runs to complete 4,000 runs in Test cricket, which he achieved on the first day of the Test against South Africa. However, he was dismissed after scoring four runs.

The first Test of the series against South Africa is the 56th Test match of Babar Azam's career.

Babar Azam is the third batsman in the world and the only one from Pakistan to complete 4,000 runs in ODIs, T20Is and Tests.

It is pertinent to note that the first match of the two-Test series between Pakistan and South Africa is being played at the Super Sports Park in Centurion, which is the Boxing Day Test match, in which South Africa won the toss and decided to field.

Pakistan's batting line-up failed against South Africa and the entire team was bowled out for 211 runs.

South Africa were 82 for three at the end of the first day's play in response to Pakistan's 211 runs in the first innings of the first Test.
