Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam made history on Saturday by becoming the first batter to cross 4,000 runs in PSL history. He reached the landmark during his team’s match against Lahore Qalandars at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.
Babar scored 43 off 40 balls, hitting three fours and one six. With that innings, he moved past the 4,000-run mark and strengthened his place as the leading run-scorer in Pakistan Super League history.
Babar reached the milestone in his 105th PSL appearance. The source says he has maintained a career strike rate of 127.92 in the tournament, underlining both his consistency and longevity.
His league record also includes 37 half-centuries and 2 centuries. Those numbers highlight the sustained impact he has made across multiple PSL seasons.
