Pakistan skipper Babar Azam yet again rose to the occasion and bailed his team out of trouble. Opting to bat against New Zealand in the first Test, the hosts lost early wickets and were tumbling at 110/4.

But Babar held his nerves well and led from the front once again as he batted staggering well and crafted his innings wonderfully. The right-hander looked a class apart and continued his golden touch with the bat in the longest format of the game and smashed his 9th century in Test.

Not only did he smash his Test ton but he broke Ricky Pontingโ€™s record for scoring the most fifty-plus score as a captain in a calendar year in international cricket. The former Australian skipper smashed 24 fifty-plus scores in 2005 whereas Babar Azam now has scored 25 fifty-plus scores in 2022.

He also became the leading run-scorer in Test cricket in 2022 as he surpassed Joe Root to also become the first player to 1100 runs. Babar this year has also 4 hundreds and 7 fifties.
