Babar Azam reaches a milestone in the World Test Championship by scoring 2,000 runs as captain during the ongoing match against England. Both outlets report that his innings of 76 includes Jofra Archer as the bowler he faces, with the score becoming the key moment tied to the record.
The news also places the achievement in a wider context of Test captaincy milestones. Times of India and Yahoo Sports state that Azam joins a group of captains—Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Dimuth Karunaratne—on the exclusive list of WTC runs as captain. They add that Azam reaches 2,000 in 41 innings, making him the third fastest to do so among captains. The outlets further note that the 76 is his first half-century of the current Test series.
