Babar overtook former test captain Muhammad Yousuf to become the second-highest century-maker for Pakistan. Muhammed Yousuf had scored 15 ODI hundreds in his career.
Babar is only behind stylish left-handed opener Saeed Anwar, who scored 20 centuries in his ODI career.
Babar Azam also broke the record for the fewest innings to score 16 ODI hundreds. The record was previously held by South Africa’s Hashim Amla who took 94 innings to reach 16 ODI tons, while Indian legend Virat Kohli took 110 innings to achieve the same.
