Babar Azam (captain of Peshawar Zalmi) has made headlines in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) with a stunning performance against Quetta Gladiators, scoring an unbeaten 100 runs off just 52 balls at the National Stadium in Karachi. His innings featured a remarkable strike rate of 192.31, including 6 fours and 4 sixes. This performance not only marked a significant comeback for the 31-year-old cricketer but also established him as the fastest player to reach 12,000 runs in T20 cricket, achieving this milestone in 338 innings, surpassing legends like Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli. Currently, Azam has accumulated 401 runs in the PSL at an impressive average of 100.25 over 7 innings, contributing to Peshawar Zalmi's undefeated status in the tournament, where they have won 7 out of 8 matches. This resurgence in form has silenced critics who previously questioned his T20 capabilities, especially following a disappointing performance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
