Star better Babar Azam surpassed former captain Shahid Afridi’s unwanted record during the first match of the home T20I tri-series against Zimbabwe on Tuesday.
The prolific batter went back to dugout without troubling the scorers here at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Babar could not stretch his form into the ongoing tri-series as he fell for a three-ball duck. With this, the 31-year-old registered his ninth duck in the format, going past Afridi on the unwanted list of Pakistan batters, jointly led by Saim Ayub and Umar Akmal.
