Malik Ouzia @MalikOuzia_15 November 2021

Pakistan star Babar Azam claimed the honour of scoring the most runs at the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Originally due to be staged in India, the tournament was moved to the Middle East because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Named the captain of the ICC’s Team of the Tournament, Azam was the only player to hit over 300 runs and did so in an inning less than Player of the Tournament David Warner.

The Australian finished second after guiding his side to glory in the final, with Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan and England’s Jos Buttler also hitting over 250 runs.
