Babar Hayat has the record for the highest ever T20I score by any player in the second innings of a T20I (122) and second in the list for scoring the highest ever T20I score in a losing cause just behind Australia's Shane Watson's 124*. Babar Hayat's 122 is also the highest ever score in T20I in the 2nd innings of a T20I in a losing cause.[4]Babar Hayat's 122 is in second place for the highest percentage of runs in a completed innings of a team,where his team scored only 175/7 in that innings.[5]

On 16 February 2017 in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship match against the Netherlands, he and Anshuman Rath made 197 runs for the third wicket. This was a List A record for Hong Kong and a record for any wicket in a World Cricket League match.[7]

In December 2017, he became the first batsman for Hong Kong to score a double century in first-class cricket, when he made 214 not out against Papua New Guinea in the 2015–17 ICC Intercontinental Cup.[8]

In August 2018, he was named the captain of Hong Kong's squad for the 2018 Asia Cup Qualifier tournament.[9] However, prior to the tournament, Hayat stepped down as captain,[10] with Anshuman Rath replacing him.[11] Hong Kong won the qualifier tournament, and he was then named in Hong Kong's squad for the 2018 Asia Cup.[12]
