Babar Azam extended his century drought in international cricket against West Indies when the former Pakistan batter fell for a duck in the second ODI in Trinidad on Sunday. The right-hander had earlier missed a fifty in the first game by three runs.
In second game, Babar came out to bat after the fall of opener Saim Ayub. But he lasted only three balls before Jayden Seales uprooted stumps. much to the celebration of the West Indies fans around the stadium. If records are to be believed, Babar went without a hundred in international cricket for more than 700 game and 71 innings.
The last time Babar scored an international hundred was against Nepal in the 2023 Asia Cup (in ODI format). He had scored 151 back then. Babar’s purple patch with the bat also reminds everyone of Virat Kohli, who had also endured a similar fate some years back.
The Indian captain returned to form in international cricket with his maiden T20I hundred in the 2022 Asia Cup against Afghanistan. It was Kohli’s first hundred for India after 1020 days.
