Pakistan's talismanic batter Babar Azam is on the verge of breaking former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag's huge record in the upcoming second Test against West Indies. After securing an emphatic victory in the first Test in Multan, Pakistan are gearing up to take on West Indies in the decider, starting on Saturday. 

Babar On The Brink Of Breaking Virender Sehwag's Illustrious Record

Meanwhile, Pakistan's veteran batter Babar Azam has a golden opportunity to go past legendary Indian opener Virender Sehwag on an elite list. Notably, Sehwag has registered 1724 international runs in 44 innings against West Indies across formats. On the other hand, Babar has amassed 1689 runs against the Men in Maroon in 38 international innings across all formats of the game. 

Thus, Babar Azam needs only 36 runs to move two places up in the standings and eclipse Sehwag on the list. Considering he will likely bat twice in the second Test, we reckon Babar can attain the landmark and overtake Sehwag. 

Babar Azam's Poor Performance In 1st Test vs WI

Babar Azam, who performed admirably in the South Africa series, failed to make a mark in the first Test against West Indies. The batter sustained his rough patch in home Tests, managing only 13 runs across two outings. Therefore, he would like to regain his mojo and help Pakistan record a historic clean sweep over the tourists in the much-awaited second game in Multan.
