Babar Azam Levels Kohli’s Record in Latest PSL 2026 Batting Feat

Babar Azam delivered another record-breaking performance in PSL 11, further strengthening his reputation as one of modern cricket’s most consistent T20 batters. In a dominant outing against Quetta Gladiators, he equalled Virat Kohli with 47 century partnerships in T20 cricket, officially becoming joint holder of the most hundred-run stands in the format. He is now ahead of elite names such as Chris Gayle, who has 46, and David Warner with 45, while players like Faf du Plessis, Alex Hales, Mohammad Rizwan, and KL Rahul follow behind in the rankings. During the same match, Babar played a technically refined knock, facing just one dot ball in a 52-ball innings, an extraordinary feat in global T20 cricket where such efficiency is extremely rare. Peshawar Zalmi posted a massive total of 255/3, driven by a strong opening partnership between Babar and Kusal Mendis, who added 135 runs together. Mendis scored a fluent 83 before getting dismissed, while Mohammad Haris provided a quick cameo. Babar then anchored the innings brilliantly, reaching his third PSL century on the final ball, remaining unbeaten on 100 with six fours and four sixes. His partnerships with Kusal Mendis, Farhan Yousaf, and Aaron Hardie ensured Zalmi maintained complete dominance throughout the innings.
