Babar Azam surpassed both Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill as he became the first Asian batter to achieve 300 runs in the annals of the World Test Championship. This remarkable feat unfolded at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday. After Shan Masood was dismissed, Babar stepped up to the crease needing just three runs to hit the 300-run milestone.

The elegant right-handed batsman reached this significant landmark when an inside edge off South African spinner Senuran Muthusamy raced to the boundary during the 49th over of Pakistan's innings. In doing so, Babar moved ahead of current Indian captain Gill (2826), Rishabh Pant (2731), Rohit Sharma (2716), and Virat Kohli (2617) in the list of Asian run-scorers.
