Babar Azam becomes first PSL player to score 3000 runs

 In the ninth season of Pakistan Super League (PSL), Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam created history by being the tournament’s first player to score 3000 runs. Babar achieved this feat during Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators’ match at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.

This important milestone, achieved across 80 innings with a fantastic average of 44.83, cements Babar Azam’s standing as one of PSL’s most prolific and consistent batters, with 29 half-centuries and a century to his credit.

However, while Babar hit a personal milestone, his incredible 50 runs off 29 balls could not seal victory for Zalmi, who lost to Quetta Gladiators by 16 runs on Sunday.

With Babar Azam being the highest run scorer in PSL, Fakhar Zaman holds the second position with 2381 runs and Shoaib Malik stands at third place with 2082.
