In last few weeks, it seems that Pakistan cricket team has gained some momentum through multiple home series. From the Test against South Africa to the Tri-Nation series with Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, Pakistan did well. Some of their individual performances are not reflecting on record pages.
In the Tri-Series 2025, Pakistan defeated Zimbabwe by 69 runs, qualifying for the final of the Tri-Series 2025. Under the captaincy of Salman Ali Agha, the team has not lost a single match in the current tournament.
Salman Ali Agha breaks multiple world records
Pakistani captain Salman Ali Agha is performing exceptionally well for the Pakistani team in 2025, consistently playing in every format. He has become the player with the most matches played in a calendar year in international cricket. He played a total of 54 matches in 2025. He has broken the world record of Rahul Dravid and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dravid played a total of 53 international matches in 1999, while Dhoni played 53 matches in 2007. While Mohammad Yousuf played a total of 53 matches in international cricket in 2000. Now Salman has surpassed all these players.
Salman Ali Agha scored more than 1000 runs in the year 2025
Salman Ali Agha has played a total of 54 international matches for Pakistan in 2025, scoring 1492 runs, including two centuries and eight half-centuries. His highest score during this period was 134. He is also the T20 captain of the Pakistani team. Before the tri-series, under his captaincy, the team reached the final of the Asia Cup 2025, but lost to India there. It is also highly likely that he will lead the Pakistani team in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
The Pakistani team has played three matches in the 2025 Tri-Series, winning all three. Pakistan has defeated Zimbabwe twice and Sri Lanka once. They still have one match remaining against Sri Lanka.
