Pakistan all-format captain Babar Azam has been on a spree of breaking records and has done the same during the first ODI against the Netherlands.

Babar has overtaken legendary South African batter Hashim Amla for most aggregate runs after 88 ODI innings.

Amla, who held the record for a long while, managed to score 4,473 runs after 88 ODIs whereas the current number one batsman has surpassed him after managing 4,516 runs.

It is worth mentioning that no batsman in the world has ever achieved this feat and Babar Azam is the first player to do so.
