Pakistan is ready for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament will start with an exciting match between Pakistan and New Zealand. Mohammad Rizwan will lead the Pakistan team, which is in Group A with India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand.
One player everyone will watch closely is Babar Azam. He is one of the best batters in the world and has a chance to create history. Here are three big records that Babar Azam can achieve in the tournament.
1. Most ODI Centuries at Home for Pakistan
Babar Azam has already scored 7 centuries in just 25 innings in ODI matches at home. He is tied with Mohammad Yousuf, who also has 7 centuries but in 66 innings.
Current Record Holders

| Mohammad Yousuf | 66 | 7 |
| Ijaz Ahmed | 48 | 5 |
| Zaheer Abbass | 24 | 5 |
| Inzamam-ul-Haq | 64 | 4 |
If Babar Azam scores just one more century, he will become the Pakistani player with the most ODI centuries at home. He has a great chance to break this record in the Champions Trophy.
2. Most 50+ Scores in ODIs for Pakistan vs New Zealand
When it comes to scoring fifties or more against New Zealand in ODIs, Saeed Anwar holds the record with 11 scores of fifty or more. Babar Azam is just behind with 10 such scores in only 22 innings.

| Fakhar Zam | 19 | 10 |
| Inzamam-ul-Haq | 42 | 10 |
| Shahid Afridi | 35 | 10 |
If Babar Azam scores just one more half-century against New Zealand, he will hold the record for the most 50+ scores for Pakistan against New Zealand in ODIs.
3. Most 50+ Scores for Pakistan in ICC ODI Events
In ICC ODI events like the World Cup and Champions Trophy, Javed Miandad has the most fifty-plus scores (9) in 30 innings. Babar Azam is close behind with 8 such scores in just 22 innings.
