Javed Afridi, the chairman of Peshawar Zalmi, has made a generous gesture by announcing a gift of an ‘MG Essence’ car to Babar Azam in recognition of his outstanding century against Islamabad United at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Afridi was deeply impressed by Babar Azam’s remarkable innings and wasted no time in declaring the prize for him, which he would receive following the match.
Babar’s unbeaten 111 runs off 63 balls at the Gaddafi Stadium on Monday played a pivotal role in Peshawar’s victory, as they chased down a total of 201-5. His exceptional batting display, filled with magnificent strokes, is destined to be celebrated for years to come.

By delivering such a world-class performance, Babar, the Zalmi Skipper, established himself as “The King” and demonstrated why he is regarded as the top batter in the country. This marked his second century in the Pakistan Super League.
With 11 centuries in T20 cricket, Babar Azam currently holds the second position behind the legendary West Indian batsman Chris Gayle, who has 22 centuries in this format.
The momentum of the match shifted dramatically when Babar Azam took on Islamabad’s young pacer Hunain Shah, hitting him for four boundaries and a six in a single over. Following this onslaught, the Zalmi skipper maintained his dominance.
Babar recently achieved the milestone of becoming the fastest batter to reach 10,000 runs in T20 cricket, indicating that his journey as a phenomenal batsman will continue to evolve in the years to come.
