Faf du Plessis shatters Babar Azam’s t20 century record

South Africa’s star batter Faf du Plessis has broken a major T20 record previously held by Pakistan’s Babar Azam. Playing for Texas Super Kings, Du Plessis smashed a brilliant 103 off just 53 balls against MI New York in Major League Cricket. His knock included 5 fours and 9 massive sixes, thrilling the crowd with aggressive strokeplay.

This was Du Plessis’ second century of the current MLC season. Earlier, he scored a ton against San Francisco Unicorns. With this latest century, he became the first player in T20 history to score two centuries after turning 40. His fitness and form continue to defy age.

Moreover, Faf now holds the record for the most T20 centuries as a captain, with a total of 8 centuries to his name. Babar Azam now slips to second in the list with 7 centuries as captain. Babar has led Pakistan, Karachi Kings, and Peshawar Zalmi in T20s.

As a captain, Babar has played 144 matches and scored over 5,200 runs, making him one of T20’s most consistent players. However, Du Plessis’ new milestone sets a high bar for leadership performance in the format.

Former Australian batter Michael Klinger sits third on the list with 7 centuries as captain, while Virat Kohli holds the fourth spot with 5. Du Plessis’ latest feat highlights his legacy as one of T20’s all-time greats, especially with age-defying performances.
