Pak vs SA 1st Test: Babar Azam ends run drought in Tests, scores half-century after 733 days

Live Mint  

After a gap of 733 days, Pakistan's former skipper Babar Azam ended the drought and scored a half-century while playing against South Africa on DAY 3 of the first Test at Centurion. Babar's struggles with bat: The former Pakistan skipper's last half-century in Test cricket came in December 2022, and ever since, he has struggled to score runs for his team. According to the Times of India, Babar Azam's last half-century came against New Zealand in Karachi, and it took him 19 consecutive innings without reaching fifty. Babar Azam who has nine international centuries to his name in Tests, has not added any new one since 2022, after New Zealand toured Pakistan in that year.
