Babar\u2019s previous ODI fifty had been an unbeaten 66 against New Zealand during the ICC Cricket World Cup.<br \/>\nBabar Azam\u2019s 73-run knock against South Africa also added another feather to his cap, as he broke MS Dhoni\u2019s record of 38 half-centuries against SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia).<br \/>\nWith 39 fifties to his name, Babar now holds the distinction of scoring the most half-centuries against these formidable cricketing nations.<br \/>\nGoing past MS Dhoni\u2019s mark is not the first record Babar Azam has shattered recently. In the second T20I against South Africa, he became the fastest player to reach 11,000 runs in T20 cricket, surpassing the previous record held by West Indian powerhouse Chris Gayle.
