Currently, Babar has notched 12948 runs from 269 matches at an average of 49.23 with 331 centuries and 88 fifties to his name.

Pakistan currently has seen only four batters who have more than 13,000 runs at the highest level in all format which are Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Muhammad Yousuf and Javed Miandad.

Babar has totalled 282 runs from eight knocks at the World Cup and drops six rating points below Gill into second place as his reign of more than two years as the No.1 ranked ODI batter in the world came to an end.
