Babar Azam has etched his name into cricket's records by becoming the fastest player to reach 6,000 runs in One Day International (ODI) cricket. The former Pakistani captain achieved this milestone in just 123 innings, equalling the record held by South Africa's Hashim Amla. This remarkable feat was accomplished during the tri-series final against New Zealand in Karachi, where Babar scored 29 runs off 34 balls.

Azam's journey to 6,000 runs is not just a testament to his consistency but also to his ability to perform under pressure. Known for his elegant stroke play and impeccable timing, Babar has become a linchpin in Pakistan's batting lineup. His technique, particularly against both pace and spin, has drawn comparisons to some of the game's legends, with many experts lauding his potential to be one of the all-time greats.
The record highlights Azam's dominance in the 50-over format, where he has averaged over 50 and has multiple centuries to his name. Although he is no longer the captain, his achievement adds to his personal accolades and boosts the morale of the Pakistani cricket team, signaling a bright future for him as a player. As Babar continues to score, fans and analysts alike will watch keenly to see how many more records this naturally talented batter can break.
