[VIDEO] Babar Azam scores his first Test century since 8th February 2020

[Firebat]

- Most runs by a Pak batsman in the 4th innings ever
- Most runs in the 4th innings by a Test captain ever
- Most balls faced by a Pak batsman in the 4th innings ever
- 4th most balls faced by any batsman in the 4th innings ever

Make no mistake about it, Babar's 196 is an all-time classic knock.

 

[Villager6964]

His greates test knock by far and one of the best 4th innings knock of all time.
He was just too good.

 

[ARK Rafay]

All time great knock right there.

 

[Zaz]

Hopefully a career defining knock Hes broken through in test cricket and IA more to come going forward

 

[Arsal_AK]

This is his best innings ever and should be the turning point in his test career. A proper test knock, not those pretty 70s or the 100 and out he had been doing before.

Sublime innings.

Babar Azam greatest knock in any format.

He will not end his career better than him either. Just because a batsman looks better with his stroke play doesn’t make them a better Test batsman than the one with limited stroke play

In what book Rahul did not look good to you? He always looked a better test batsman with better technique than Virat and that is now getting proven. Just the way he stood defeated most of the bowlers? I am not sure exactly what sort of videos you are watching these days with your recent comments.

3. Babar Azam – 196 (425) vs Australia at Karachi, 2022

Babar Azam lived up to his reputation when his country needed him the most. He made his first Test hundred since 2020, and then piled misery on the Australia bowlers to raise hopes of an unlikely Pakistan win.

The hosts had been bowled out for 148 in the first innings, and were under immense pressure in the second innings after being set a target of 506. All of this didn’t seem to matter to Babar, who played an all-time great knock.

About time Babar scored a daddy hundred, hope it’s the first of many

He did what he could...
