Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, has once again created history by making another record in One Day International (ODI) cricket.

During the second ODI match against Afghanistan in Hambantota on Thursday, Babar achieved the distinction of having the most number of runs (5142) under his belt after first 100 ODI innings.

This is a remarkable achievement, as the previous record holder of this record, Hashim Amla, scored 4946 runs in his first 100 ODI innings.

Babar now holds the top spot among batters with most runs after 100 ODI innings, followed by Hashim Amla (4946), Viv Richards (4607), Shai Hope (4436), and Joe Root (4428).
