Most times dismissed run-out for Pakistan in Test cricket: Babar Azam misses century in an unfortunate fashion
Babar Azam managed to ground Pakistan's innings against the West Indies, but it didn't stop him from getting run out for the record eighth time.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam missed a century in an unfortunate fashion during the second Test against West Indies, being run out for 88 on day three. This dismissal extended his Test century drought, which now stretches back to December 2022, and pushed him up to joint-second on the list of most run-outs for Pakistan in Tests. Babar's innings had been impressive, striking 10 fours and a six while adding 168 for the third wicket with Abdullah Shafique, but his dismissal came after a mix-up in the middle with Brandon King.
The poor manner of his dismissal has added to the frustration for Pakistan's fragile batting order and highlighted the impact of his recent struggles.
