Peshawar Zalmi vs Hyderabad Kingsmen: Babar Azam's desire to become the captain of Pakistan has rekindled. Babar Azam held a press conference before the final of PSL 2026, where his words revealed that he still wants to become the captain of Pakistan. We will know what Babar said, but before that, do you know how valuable the first run scored in the final of Pakistan Super League is going to be for him? Babar Azam is going to create history as soon as he scores the first run in the final of PSL 2026. Meaning, what has never happened before in Pakistan's T20 league will happen now.
Importance of Babar Azam's first run in PSL final
Now the question is, how is Babar Azam's first run going to be historic? This is because through that he will become the batsman scoring the most runs in a season in the history of PSL. The record of scoring the most 588 runs in a season of Pakistan Super League is in the name of Fakhar Zaman, who scored these runs in 13 innings while playing for Lahore Qalandars in PSL 2022.
Babar Azam will break Fakhar Zaman's record
Babar Azam has equaled Fakhar Zaman by scoring 588 runs in 10 innings at an average of 84 in PSL 2026. In such a situation, as soon as he scores the first run of his innings in the final of PSL 2026, he will break Fakhar Zaman's record and become the batsman who has scored the most runs in a season of Pakistan's T20 League.
Expressed his desire to become the captain of Pakistan
Under his captaincy, Babar Azam has taken Peshawar Zalmi to the finals of PSL 2026. This is the 5th time that this team will play the final of PSL. Captain Babar Azam, who was successful in taking Peshawar Zalmi to the PSL 2026 final, has not ruled out the possibility of captaining Pakistan.
Babar Azam said in the press conference before the final that Pakistan's captaincy is a separate issue. At present his focus is on the PSL final. But, if he gets a chance in future, he will take the decision which is best for Pakistan cricket.
