The team's greatest successes in One Day International cricket arrived in 1992, when they won the World Cup under the captaincy of Imran Khan. Their most important Twenty20 cricket success came in 2009 when they won the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, under the leadership of Younis Khan and another important victory is the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy under the leadership of Sarfraz Ahmed. Babar Azam is the only Pakistan captain who has scored centuries in all formats as a captain. Babar Azam now has the most centuries for Pakistan as a captain.
