Batting great Babar Azam on Tuesday hit a hundred during a Pakistan Super League match between Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United.
Babar, leading Peshawar Zalmi, delivered a commanding knock of 103 off 59 balls to power his side to 221/7. This is his second hundred of the season. The stylish batter had earlier got a ton against Quetta Gladiators. With 588 runs in 10 innings, Babar has accumulated the most runs by a batter in the ongoing season of the PSL.
The hundred against Islamabad marked his fourth century in the tournament, drawing him level with compatriot Usman Khan for the most hundreds in the league's history. Often criticized for his conservative approach even in T20s, Babar reached the landmark hundred with a six.
