In a thrilling finale at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Peshawar Zalmi triumphed over Hyderabad Kingsmen to clinch the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 title. The team, led by captain Babar Azam, bowled out their opponents for just 129 runs, with Aaron Hardie taking four wickets. Peshawar chased down the target in just 15.2 overs, thanks to Hardie's unbeaten 56 runs and Abdul Samad's contribution of 48 runs. Following the victory, Babar attempted to recreate Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma's iconic trophy lift, which led to a humorous moment as his exaggerated imitation caught the attention of fans and sparked a wave of memes on social media. Babar reflected on the team's performance, crediting the collective effort and management's guidance throughout the tournament, stating, "This is quite an achievement for me, and I think for Peshawar Zalmi and all the fans too."
