Pakistan cricket sensation Babar Azam made history on the international stage, becoming just the fifth Pakistani to tally 16,000 runs in global cricket. This remarkable feat was achieved during an opening ODI tri-series match against Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. At 32 years old, Babar joins an elite group of Pakistani batters, which includes Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, and Javed Miandad.
The 144-ODI, 66-Test, and 145-T20I veteran has amassed an impressive 16,038 international runs, with a notable total of 6,671 in ODIs, 4,771 in Tests, and 4,596 in T20s. Babar's international career is also adorned with 32 centuries and 111 half-centuries. The legendary Inzamam-ul-Haq remains Pakistan's top run-scorer with 20,541 runs across 495 matches, followed by Younis Khan's 17,790 runs in 408 matches.
Babar stands one century away from breaking Saeed Anwar's record of the most ODI centuries by a Pakistani player. He is also aiming to become the third-fastest batter to reach 21 ODI centuries, with South Africa's Hashim Amla and India's Virat Kohli currently holding the fastest records of 116 and 138 innings, respectively.
