Babar Azam Sets Record for Most T20 Centuries as Captain

Babar Azam Sets Record for Most T20 Centuries as Captain

Babar Azam now stands alone with the most T20 centuries as captain, reaching nine, a mark no one else has achieved. It did not come quietly either. The innings had rhythm, control, and that familiar late burst that gets crowds on their feet.

A captain leading from the front

Across formats, leaders talk about responsibility. Babar simply stacks runs. His latest effort nudged him ahead in the most T20 centuries as captain list, leaving names like Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli trailing.

He did not rush. He built it. Then accelerated. This is not just about numbers anymore. The Babar Azam T20 centuries as captain record reflects consistency under pressure, not just flair.

Captains often slow down with added weight. Babar seems to thrive on it. His approach stays simple. Watch the ball, pick the gaps, and finish strong.

And now, the table looks different. Nine centuries, still counting.
