Pakistan star batter Babar Azam became only the fifth Pakistani to score 16,000 runs in international cricket during the opening ODI tri-series match against Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The 32-year-old reached the milestone after adding a few runs to his tally, joining an elite list of Pakistani batters that includes Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, and Javed Miandad.
Babar Azam has now scored 16,038 international runs, including more than 6,671 in 144 ODIs, 4,771 in 66 Tests, and 4,596 in 145 T20Is. His international career also includes 32 centuries and 111 half-centuries.
Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq leads the country's all-time run-scoring chart with 20,541 runs in 495 matches, followed by Younis Khan with 17,790 runs in 408 matches.
Meanwhile, Babar is also one century away from breaking Saeed Anwar's record for the most ODI centuries by a Pakistani batter.
