Peshawar Zalmi's captain, Babar Azam, has made T20 cricket history by becoming the quickest batsman to reach the 10,000-run milestone. This achievement was realized during his innings against Karachi Kings at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.
Babar accomplished this remarkable feat in just 271 innings, surpassing the previous record held by West Indies cricket icon Chris Gayle, who took 285 innings to achieve 10,000 runs. Following closely is Virat Kohli, who achieved this milestone in 299 innings.
Joining an exclusive group of 12 batters who reached the 10,000-run mark in T20 cricket, Babar Azam stands alongside cricketing luminaries such as Chris Gayle, Shoaib Malik, Kieron Pollard, Alex Hales, David Warner, Virat Kohli, Aaron Finch, Rohit Sharma, Jos Buttler, Colin Munro, James Vince, and David Miller.
In Peshawar Zalmi's inaugural game this season against Gladiators, Babar further etched his name in history by becoming the first batsman to amass 3,000 runs in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). This achievement sets him apart from other players who have yet to surpass the 2,500-run mark in the league.
