In the wake of Pakistan’s victory against Ireland in the second T20I match on Sunday, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam registered a massive record to his name, becoming the most successful captain in T20I history. 

Pakistan clinched a series-levelling win against Ireland, beating them by seven wickets in Dublin. Mohammad Rizwan (75*) and Fakhar Zaman (78) were the architect of Pakistan’s chase, forging a match-winning 140-run stand.
