Pakistan Super League (PSL) could be called the second most successful T20 league in the world. It has edged past the likes of the Big Bash League (BBL) and Vitality T20 Blast. Many famous cricketers like AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Alex Hales and others have been part of this league. PSL is known for its high-scoring matches, in which even a score of 200 and above is not safe to defend. It is also known for unearthing lethal Pakistani pace bowlers.
Over the years, PSL has helped in the development of many popular Pakistani speedsters, including Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abbas Afridi, Naseem Shah and many more. On the other hand, Babar Azam has been the most successful batter in the history of PSL. He has set a benchmark for the others when it comes to consistency. However, he has been heavily criticised for his reserved batting approach.. This article covers all the fascinating batting, bowling and team records and stats of the Pakistan Super League.
