Babar Azam created history and etched his name in record books during the league stage match of the 2025 Champions Trophy against India. The Pakistan opener scored 23 off 26 balls before getting dismissed. Babar made a decent start to innings and was playing positively. Hardik Pandya, who was bowling his second over, dismissed the former Pakistan captain.

Babar edged an outside-off delivery behind the wickets to KL Rahul and walked back for 23. But Babar created history and achieved a huge record before his dismissal. He completed 1000 runs in ICC ODI events during his knock.

Babar Azam created history and became the fastest Pakistan batsman to complete 1000 runs in ICC ODI events. He breached the milestone in only 24 innings. The record previously belonged to Saeed Anwar, who took 25 innings. Javed Miandad sits at the third spot.

Babar played his first ICC ODI event in 2017. He was part of the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side which defeated India in the final. He was also part of the 2019 ODI World Cup team. Babar captained Pakistan in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Pakistan haven't made it to the second round of a 50-over World Cup since 2011. Babar left captaincy after the 2023 ODI World Cup. He made his return as captain for the 2024 T20 World Cup but Pakistan crashed out from the league stage.

After a positive start, Pakistan lost two early wickets in Dubai. Babar departed for 23 while Imam ul Haq was run out for 10. The left-handed batsman went for the run after playing towards mid-on.

Axar Patel was quick to collect the ball and throw it straight at the stumps. Mohammad Rizwan joined Saud Shakeel after the fall of the second wicket. A defeat here will all but rule Pakistan out of the 2025 Champions Trophy.
