New Delhi. Although the performance of the Pakistan cricket team in this year's ICC T20 World Cup was not as expected, captain Babar Azam has returned with a record. In this year's tournament, the team failed to reach the Super 8 and was eliminated in the first round itself. In the last league match, the Pakistan captain broke the record of India's legendary captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He has reached the top of a special list of captains.
In its last league match in the ICC T20 World Cup, Pakistan's team won a close match against Ireland. With this victory, the team ended its campaign. After suffering an upset against America, the defeat against India almost closed the doors of its Super 8. After the match between Ireland and America was canceled due to rain, it was completely out of the tournament. In the last match against Ireland, Babar Azam made a special record in his name.
