Pakistan captain Babar Azam broke a 16 year record as he became his country’s highest run scorer in a calendar year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

He was 161 not out at the end of the first day of the two-Test series with New Zealand in Karachi to take his 2022 tally to 2,485 runs across all formats.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In doing so, the 28-year-old surpassed Mohammad Yousuf’s 2,435 in 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n

Babar, who helped his side to 317-5 in their first innings against the Kiwis, also has the most runs in Tests this year with 1,170 runs in nine matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Zealand failed to take two chances to dismiss the Pakistan skipper, with Daryl Mitchell spilling a catch at first slip when Babar was on 12 and fielder Devon Conway missing the stumps when the batter was well short of his crease on 54.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was also Babar’s 25th international score in excess of 50 during the calendar year, again across Test, one-day international and Twenty20 international cricket – equalling the record set by Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara in 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pakistan are aiming to bounce back from their recent 3-0 Test series defeat at home by England.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
