Pakistan cricket star and Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam has once again set the T20 stage on fire, delivering a record-breaking performance that has left fans and analysts in awe.
In a stunning display of class and control, Babar smashed an unbeaten 100 runs off just 52 balls in a recent Pakistan Super League (PSL) match. What made the innings even more extraordinary was his near-perfect shot selection—he faced only one dot ball throughout the entire knock.
The innings included 4 towering sixes and 6 elegant boundaries, showcasing Babar’s trademark timing and composure rather than sheer aggression. His ability to rotate strike and punish loose deliveries kept the scoreboard constantly ticking, making it one of the most efficient T20 centuries ever recorded.
According to match statistics, this is the first known instance in T20 cricket where a batter has played 50 or more deliveries and faced only a single dot ball in an innings. Cricket experts are calling it a masterclass in controlled attacking batting.
This latest century also marks Babar Azam’s 12th T20 hundred, further strengthening his position among the most prolific run-scorers in the shortest format. He now stands second on the list of players with the most T20 centuries, continuing to build an already remarkable career.
Fans flooded social media with praise, calling the innings “effortless brilliance” and “pure batting poetry,” while former cricketers highlighted his consistency and calm approach under pressure.
With this performance, Babar has once again reminded the cricket world why he is regarded as one of the finest modern-day batters. As PSL 2026 heats up, all eyes will remain on the Peshawar Zalmi skipper to see what record he might break next.
