Fakhr Zaman, who surpassed Babur Azam

In the second one-day match played between Pakistan and New Zealand in Rawalpindi on Saturday, Fakhar Zaman not only scored the second consecutive century to give victory to Pakistan but also set some records.

In the second ODI against New Zealand in Rawalpindi, Fakhar Zaman played an unbeaten innings of 180 runs while chasing the visitors’ mountain-like target of 337 runs.

This is Fakhar Zaman’s second consecutive century in this series and third consecutive century in ODI cricket. Earlier, he had scored a century against New Zealand in Karachi in January this year.

Fakhar Zaman, looking at the current form and the Asia Cup and then the World Cup in Asian conditions, has already raised alarm bells for other teams, while on the other hand, the Pakistan team has also pinned their hopes on him because New Zealand Pakistan has already called this series against Pakistan as preparation for the World Cup.

Fakhar Zaman just has to maintain his form.

Now let’s talk a little about their records. So Fakhar Zaman has become the first Asian and the third cricketer in the world to score 3000 runs in ODI cricket by playing an innings of 180 runs.

He accomplished this feat in 67 matches. In this way, he has also left captain Babar Azam behind. Babar Azam had completed 3000 runs in 68 matches.

Fakhar Zaman is also one of the highest individual scorers in ODI cricket for Pakistan. From Pakistan, Fakhar Zaman has scored more than 150 runs twice and more than 200 runs once.

Fakhar Zaman has scored 193 against South Africa, 210 against Zimbabwe and 180 not out against New Zealand.

Ever since Fakhar Zaman’s innings in Rawalpindi on Saturday, social media has been trending (ODI 3000), with users congratulating Fakhar Zaman on his innings.

Pakistan’s wicketkeeper batsman Muhammad Rizwan posted a picture of Fakhar Zaman and called him ‘Pakistan’s pride’ and congratulated him on this wonderful record of his career.

User Aamir Khan wrote in his tweet: ‘Is Fakhr the new Javed Midad who used to beat New Zealand in the past.’

Arif Pul described Fakhar Zaman as a ‘destructive’ batsman and wrote that ‘He has heard that Fakhar says to get me out or else I will destroy your bowling, what is the matter with the player.’ He further wrote that ‘The best thing about Fakhr Zaman is his attacking cricket.’
