Babar Azam's record against India in ODIs. In five innings, he has scored 158 runs at an average of 31.60, with a strike rate of 88.46. He has only one fifty and is yet to score a century against India. In big tournaments, he has shown class but hasn’t played a match-winning knock yet. His best effort came in the 2017 Champions Trophy final, where he scored 46 off 52 balls in Pakistan’s title-winning game. In the 2019 World Cup, he made 48 off 57 balls, and in the 2023 World Cup, he scored 50 off 58 balls, but both times, Pakistan lost. His struggles continued in the 2023 Asia Cup, where he managed just 10 off 24 balls. Now, with the Champions Trophy 2025 match against India coming up, Babar has the perfect chance to turn things around.  Babar Azam scored 23 runs from 26 balls, hitting five fours but no sixes. He was looking good at starting but was eventually caught by KL Rahul off Hardik Pandya’s bowling. His strike rate was 88.4, but he couldn't convert his start into a big score.

Babar Azam has played 8 innings against India in ODIs, scoring 218 runs at an average of 31.14 with a strike rate of 75.17. He has only one half-century and is still waiting for his first century against India. While he has shown his talent in bits and pieces, he hasn’t been able to dominate India’s bowlers consistently.

Babar Azam has played two innings against India in the Champions Trophy, scoring 54 runs at an average of 27.00 with a strike rate of 94.74. He hasn’t scored a fifty or a hundred in the tournament yet. While he has shown promise, he hasn’t had a standout performance against India. With the Champions Trophy 2025 match coming up, Babar has a great chance to change that. A big knock in this high-pressure game could make a huge difference for both him and his team. Babar Azam scored 23 runs from 26 balls, hitting five fours but no sixes in the ICC Champions Trophy. He was looking good at starting but was eventually caught by KL Rahul off Hardik Pandya’s bowling. His strike rate was 88.4, but he couldn't convert his start into a big score again.
