  "summary": "Babar Azam's quest for a Test century continues as he remains without a hundred since December 2022. Over the course of seventeen Tests and thirty-six innings, he has frequently come close with several fifties but has yet to convert those into three-figure scores. His challenges surged notably in 2024, despite a temporary revival in South Africa.",
