Peshawar Zalmi’s captain, Babar Azam, etched his name in the annals of Pakistan Super League (PSL) history during the second match of season nine against Quetta Gladiators at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. The 29-year-old batting maestro accomplished a remarkable feat by becoming the first player to amass 3000 runs in the PSL, a milestone yet untouched by any other batter in the league’s history.
More than 3000 runs
In his illustrious journey spanning 80 innings, Babar Azam has exhibited exceptional skill and consistency amassing a staggering 3004 runs at an impressive average of 44.83. His tally includes 29 half-centuries along with a memorable century, showcasing his ability to dominate the game with finesse and flair.
The significance of Babar’s achievement is underscored by the fact that no other player has come close to his record-breaking feat, with the next highest run-scorer trailing by a considerable margin. Fakhar Zaman and Shoaib Malik, two stalwarts of Pakistani cricket, trail behind Babar with 2381 and 2082 runs respectively.
