The Pakistan captain had also become the fastest captain to score 1,000 runs — which was a record earlier held by Kohli. Azam achieved the milestone during the match against Afghanistan last week.
Azam scored his first 1,000 T20I runs in 26 innings as the skipper of the Pakistan cricket team.
Virat Kohli, as captain of the Indian cricket team, took 30 innings to score 1,000 T20I runs.
