KARACHI — Pakistan’s star cricketer Babar Azam has made history by becoming the first batter to reach 4,000 runs in the Pakistan Super League, marking a significant milestone in the tournament’s history. The achievement underscores his consistency and long-standing impact on one of Pakistan’s premier T20 competitions.

Babar Azam reached the landmark during PSL 11 while representing Peshawar Zalmi in a match against Karachi Kings. The milestone is particularly notable as it highlights his sustained performance across multiple seasons and franchises, further cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most dependable batters.

Throughout his PSL career, Babar has played 105 matches, accumulating 4,000 runs. His record includes two centuries and 37 half-centuries, reflecting remarkable consistency at the top of the order. He has represented three franchises in the league: Islamabad United, Karachi Kings, and Peshawar Zalmi, contributing significantly to each team during his tenure.

This milestone comes shortly after another major achievement in Babar’s career. Just days earlier, he became the fastest player in T20 cricket to score 12,000 runs, reaching the mark in only 338 innings. In doing so, he surpassed the previous record held by West Indies legend Chris Gayle, further highlighting his standing in international T20 cricket.

Babar Azam’s latest accomplishment not only strengthens his legacy within the PSL but also reinforces his status as one of the leading contemporary batters in the shortest format of the game. His consistent performances continue to play a vital role in the popularity and competitive standard of the league.
