Pakistan skipper Babar Azam added another feather to his cap by becoming the fastest batsman to score 5,000 runs in one-day internationals (ODI).
The star batter, who is the top ODI batter in the world, has become the first batter to achieve this feat in less than 100 innings.
Babar crossed this milestone in just 97 innings, becoming the 14th to score 5,000 runs. He broke the record during the fourth match of the series against New Zealand in Karachi on Friday (today).
South Africa’s Hashim Amla scored 5,000 runs in 101 innings, while West Indian legend Vivian Richards and India’s Virat Kohli scored these runs in 114 innings.
Previously, the batter achieved the international feat during the first fixture against the Black Caps by completing 12,000 runs in international cricket.
He took 277 innings to achieve this feat as the fastest Pakistani and second-fastest Asian batter. In the world, he is the sixth-fastest to get to this achievement.
