Pakistani batsman Imam-ul Haque is a regular batting partner with both of them. He started the innings with Fakhar Zaman. Babar Azam is number three. Great success has come in pairing pairs with both of them. Their names are in the record books. After such a record, Imam recounted his batting experience with Fakhar and Babar.

Imam and Babar shared a 108-run stand for the second wicket in Karachi in the third ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday to set the foundation for Pakistan’s win. They touched a record in this pair. This is the ninth ODI century partnership between the two. Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf reached the highest number of hundreds in ODIs for Pakis Imam and Fakhar.

Younis-Yusuf made a pair of 9 centuries in 68 innings. The pair of Imam-Fakhar caught them in just 31 innings. Imam and Fakhar duo are not far behind in success. These two left-handers have an average of 7 centuries in 53 innings together. They are number three in the record of century pairs for Pakistan. Inzamam-ul-Haq Yousuf’susuf pair is second in the record for 8 centuries.

On the day of the record-breaking pair of centuries, Imam himself narrowly missed out on a century. However, he played an innings of 90 runs and was the best of the match in Pakistan’s 26-run win. In the press conference after the match, he shared his experience of batting with partners of two successful pairs. He said the two are completely different. Fakhr does not speak at all, and Babar is never silent. Both are so different genres. Babar knows me very well. He knows what is going on inside me. I like to bat with both of them.
He also said, “In fact, if anyone is given a chance for a long time… our three top-order batsmen in ODIs, we have been playing for several days.” I think that’s why our duo gels so well and we have been playing together for a long time, 5-6 years. In between, we played well and played badly. Always try to do better.

According to the imam, the personal relationship and closeness that the two have for a long time is useful in 22 yards. I enjoyed batting with both of them. I have been playing with Fakhar for a long time. My friendship with Babar is so good that I understand clearly what is going to happen. There is a lot of talk about both of them saying, ‘It should be done this way and not that way.’ Both ly are different. I like to bat with both of them.
