Pakistan captain Babar Azam overtakes Virat Kohli for this record, equals Rohit Sharma
Ace Pakistan cricketer Babar Azam on Thursday smashed a blistering hundred in the National T20 Cup while representing Central Punjab against Northern and in the process added another feather in his already illustrative cap. Azam now holds the record for most hundred in the T20s for Pakistan by going past the tally of Ahmed Shehzad and Kamran Akmal. It was Azam’s sixth hundred in the shortest format of the game. Prior to him, the Pakistan duo of Shehzad and Akmal were the joint record holder for most hundred for Pakistan in the T20s. Both of them have scored five hundred in the format.
The Pakistan skipper also went past his Indian counterpart Virat Kohli on the list of batters with the maximum number of hundreds in the T20s. Kohli has scored five hundred in T20 cricket in 315 games. On the other hand, Babar has smashed six centuries in just 194 games in the format. He has now also joined the likes of India’s Rohit Sharma and former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson on the list of batters with the most T20 tons.
Meanwhile, universe boss Chris Gayle holds the record for most hundred in the T20s. He has scored 22 centuries in 448 T20 matches. The second spot in the list is reserved by Michael Klinger, Aaron Finch and David Warner. The trio has scored 8 hundred in the T20s overall.
Here is the list of batters with maximum number of T20 tons
- Chris Gayle – 22 from 448 matches
- Michael Klinger – 8 from 206 matches
- David Warner – 8 from 306 matches
- Aaron Finch – 8 in 324 matches
- Luke Wright – 7 in 336 matches
- Brendon McCullum – 7 in 370 matches
- Shane Watson – 6 in 343 matches
- Rohit Sharma – 6 in 353 matches
- Babar Azam – 6 in 194 matches
However, Azam’s hundred went in vain as Northern defeated Central Punjab by six wickets in the 11th match of the National T20 Cup.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
