Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam reached a remarkable career milestone during the third One Day International match against South Africa at Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad on November 8, 2025. The talented batsman surpassed 15,000 runs in international cricket, joining an elite group of Pakistani cricket legends.
With this achievement, Babar became only the fifth Pakistani cricketer ever to cross the 15,000-run mark in international cricket. He now stands alongside some of Pakistan’s greatest batsmen including Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, and the legendary Javed Miandad. This accomplishment highlights Babar’s consistency and quality as a world-class batsman across all formats of the game.
Despite reaching this historic milestone, Babar’s innings ended disappointingly when he was run out for just 27 runs during a crucial phase of the match. The dismissal came at an important moment when Pakistan needed their captain to build a strong partnership and guide the team to a competitive total.
Babar Azam has been one of the most consistent performers in international cricket over the past several years. His ability to score runs across all three formats – Tests, ODIs, and T20Is – has made him one of the world’s top-ranked batsmen. He has broken numerous records and continues to set new benchmarks for Pakistani cricket.
At a relatively young age, Babar has already achieved what many cricketers dream of throughout their entire careers. His journey to 15,000 runs demonstrates his exceptional talent, hard work, and dedication to the game. Cricket fans across Pakistan celebrated this milestone achievement by their beloved captain.
