Peshawar Zalmi’s owner, Javed Afridi, has gifted a luxury car to Babar Azam in recognition of his exceptional performance throughout the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9. Babar, the captain of Peshawar Zalmi, was the highest scorer of the tournament, amassing 569 runs in 11 innings at an average of 56.90, including five 50s and a century.

Afridi shared a post on his social media handle, showing Babar sitting inside his new car beside Afridi. Despite Zalmi being favored to win the tournament, they lost both knockout games against Multan Sultans and Islamabad United. Currently, Babar is leading the Pakistan side against New Zealand in a five-match T20I series, which is currently tied at 1-1.
Most runs as captain in T20Is:
Babar Azam: 2246* runs (67 innings)
Aaron Finch: 2236 runs (76 innings)
Kane Williamson: 2125 (71 innings)
Babar is Pakistan’s leading run-getter in this format. In 105 innings, he has scored 3749 runs with the help of 33 fifties and three centuries.
Remember, he was reappointed as captain in white-ball formats before the start of the New Zealand series while Shaheen Afridi was removed just after the one series.
