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.
