Pakistan captain Babar Azam became the joint-quickest player alongside Virat Kohli to reach the 3000-run milestone in T20Is.

He is now the fifth men's player to complete this feat and the eighth player overall.

With his scintillating knock of 87* (59) in the 6th T20I against England, he became the first Pakistani batter to enter the 3000-run club in T20Is.

Babar reached the 3000-run mark in 81 innings, equalling Virat Kohli who reached the milestone in the exact same amount of innings. They are the only two players to have achieved the feat in less than 100 innings.

Babar's brilliant knock however couldn't help his team win their match as England won the game by 8 wickets to force a decider in the 7-match series.
