Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam

For the past few years, Pakistani captain Babar Azam, who has made more than one record with the bat on the field, has made another such record outside the field as well, which no one has done before in the history of Pakistan.

In fact, the Government of Pakistan has honored Babar Azam with the Sitara-e-Pakistan award on Thursday.

It is the third highest civilian award of Pakistan.

If compared with India, it can be said to be equal to Padma Bhushan.

Padma Bhushan is the third highest civilian award in India.

Sitara-e-Pakistan is generally given on March 23 every year.

The formation of this award is remembered by the Lahore Resolution passed in 1940.

Under this proposal, the proposal for the formation of an autonomous nation for the Muslims of India was passed.

On this achievement of Babar, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) also congratulated him and posted a message on Twitter, writing, "Congratulations on being honored with the Civilian Award."

Babar Azam made his debut for Pakistan on May 31, 2015.

And on November 2020, he was elected the Test captain of Pakistan.

And as soon as he became the Test captain, he became the captain in all the three forties of the country.

In April 2012, against South Africa, Babar scored his 13th ODI century in 76th innings and became the fastest Pakistani player to do this feat outside.

And now Babar has made a record with the Sitara-e-Imtiaz award as well.

Babar has become the youngest person in the history of Pakistan to receive this civilian award.

Before him, no person in the history of Pakistan could get this award at the age of 28.
