After scoring his first century in Test cricket after 32 innings, Babar Azam played his last century in Test cricket against New Zealand in Karachi in December 2022 in the form of 161 runs. However, since then, right-handed batsmen have been unsuccessful in their attempts to play consecutive big innings in Test cricket._x000D_

Babar Azam has played 33 Test innings in a span of 42 months since December 2022._x000D_

Babar Azam’s inconsistent batting during this period can be gauged from the fact that he has only played 2 innings in which he has bowled more than 100 balls twice in this period, while in 33 innings he has been able to score 863 runs with 5 half-centuries.
