Mini bio
How it started.
Babar grew up playing cricket on Lahore’s streets. After an initial rejection from the national academy, he earned entry a year later. Domestic cricket and Pakistan’s youth teams opened the way to his senior ODI debut in his home city in May 2015.
Finding his rhythm.
Three consecutive ODI hundreds against West Indies in 2016 made his promise clear. He helped Pakistan win the 2017 Champions Trophy, then scored 474 runs at the 2019 World Cup. His cover drive became a familiar part of watching Pakistan bat.
Long innings, bigger responsibilities.
His 196 against Australia in Karachi helped Pakistan save a Test in 2022. That year’s performances brought the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year award. In franchise cricket, he captained Peshawar Zalmi to the 2026 PSL title and finished as the tournament’s leading run-scorer.
