Pakistan’s batting maestro Babar Azam has once again etched his name into cricket history during the tri-nation series final against New Zealand in Karachi.
After scoring his 13th run against New Zealand, Babar Azam became the fastest batter to score 6000 runs in One-Day International cricket. The stylish right-hander achieved this remarkable milestone in just 123 innings, equaling the legendary Hashim Amla’s record.
Babar’s consistency and dominance in ODI cricket have been severely challenged in recent months, but that has not halted his record-breaking career. By matching Amla’s feat, he has reaffirmed his status as one of the modern-day greats. The former Pakistani skipper reached the landmark with a boundary, adding yet another accolade to his illustrious career.
Fastest to 6,000 ODI Runs (By Innings)
| Player | Team | Innings Taken |
|---|---|---|
| Babar Azam | PAK | 123 |
| Hashim Amla | SA | 123 |
| Virat Kohli | IND | 136 |
| Kane Williamson | NZ | 139 |
| David Warner | Aus | 139 |
Babar’s journey to this milestone has been nothing short of spectacular. Since his ODI debut, he has been a pillar of Pakistan’s batting lineup, combining elegance with remarkable consistency. His ability to adapt across different conditions and anchor Pakistan’s innings has been instrumental in his rapid ascent in world cricket.
By matching Amla’s record, Babar has outpaced some of the biggest names in cricket, including Virat Kohli, David Warner, and Kane Williamson. Given his hunger for runs, he could very well break more records in the years to come. With Pakistan eyeing the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, Babar Azam’s batting prowess will be crucial as they look to make a mark on the global stage. For now, he stands tall among the greats of the game, proving yet again why he is one of the finest batters of his generation.
