Notably, the stylish right-handed batter has amassed 2661 runs, the most by a Pakistani batter in WTC history. 

So, if he scores 339 more runs, Babar will enter the prestigious 3000-run club, becoming only the fifth batter to unlock the feat. 

Most runs in WTC history

• Joe Root- 4598 runs in 55 matches
• Marnus Labuschagne- 3904 runs in 45 matches
• Steve Smith- 3486 runs in 45 matches
• Ben Stokes- 3101 runs in 48 matches

• Babar Azam- 2661 runs in 29 matches

As mentioned in the list, Joe Root holds the record for most runs in WTC, while Babar is in sixth position. 

Interestingly, he is ahead of Indian greats Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and can be quicker than the duo to score 3000 runs in WTC. 

Pakistan's two-match Test series against Bangladesh begins on August 21, with the first game in Rawalpindi.
