Srinagar: Pakistan left hand batter Fakhar Zaman on Tuesday, surpassed Babar Azam’s record of taking the most catches for Pakistan in T20Is.
The 35-year-old achieved the milestone during the second T20I against Bangladesh when he took a well-judged catch running backwards to dismiss Tanzim Hasan Sakib off Salman Mirza.
His catch propelled him past Babar, who recently rose to the top of the list of Pakistan fielders with the most catches in the format.
Most catches by a fielder for Pakistan in T20Is
Fakhar Zaman – 53 catches in 95 matches
Babar Azam – 52 catches in 128 matches
Shoaib Malik – 50 catches in 123 matches
Shadab Khan – 40 catches in 112 matches
Fakhar Zaman, however, had a forgetful outing with the bat as he could score a run-a-ball eight in Pakistan’s 134-run pursuit.
