Babar Azam Become The Fastest To Reach 6,000 Runs In ODI Cricket

Babar Azam of Pakistan achieved the 6,000-run mark in One Day Internationals (ODIs) on February 14, 2025, in the tri-series final against New Zealand. In his 123rd innings, he matched South Africa's Hashim Amla's record for the fastest 6,000 ODI runs scored.

Babar Beat Virat, Kane, And David

Babar overtook such players as Australia's David Warner and New Zealand's Kane Williamson, who both required 139 innings to accomplish this milestone, and India's Virat Kohli, who did so in 136 innings.

How He Reached This Milestone?

Babar only needed 10 runs to achieve 6,000 in the match. He became the 11th batter from Pakistan to reach this record when he hit a boundary off the delivery.

Babar has had difficulties in the last year and a half with this achievement; his most recent ODI century was against Nepal in 2023. He hasn't crossed the three-figure mark in ODIs since.
