Against Bangladesh in the Test series, what record may Babar Azam break?

Babar Azam would join the ranks of great players like Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, and Joe Root if he were to score 3,000 runs.

Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan's white-ball team, is about to accomplish a noteworthy feat in the next two Test matches against Bangladesh.

Babar is only 339 runs away from reaching the 3,000-run threshold with 2,661 runs remaining in the current ICC World Test Championship cycle. If he succeeds, he will become just the fifth player in history to reach this milestone.

Babar is the Pakistani batter leading the cycle in runs as of right moment.

If he reaches 3,000 runs, he would become a member of an elite group of players that includes England's Joe Root (4,598 runs in 55 matches) and Australia's Marnus Labuschagne (3,904 runs in 45 matches).

Other notable players on the list are Steve Smith (3,486 runs), Ben Stokes (3,101 runs), and Usman Khawaja (2,686 runs).

In the World Test Championship, Babar outperforms two of the most successful Indian hitters, Virat Kohli (2,235 runs) and Rohit Sharma (2,552 runs).

All eyes will be on Babar as he gets ready for the series against Bangladesh to see whether he can top this accomplishment and solidify his place among the best players of all time.
