Babar Azam isn’t just excelling in his game; he’s also on everyone’s lips and in their hearts! Here are the highlights of his dominance from last night’s PSL match against Islamabad United at Gaddafi Stadium.
Yesterday, February 26th’s Peshawar Zalmi vs. Islamabad United PSL match was purely dominated by Babar Azam. Not only did he slam his 11th hundred in T20 cricket, but he also smashed 111 runs off 63 balls with 14 fours and two sixes, guiding Peshawar to a total of 201-5. Azam mentioned that he had been practicing for a long time, and due to his liking for the pitch, he successfully executed his first scoop shot during the match. This match also showcased a variation in his game, much to the delight of his fans.
The match also allowed his fans to witness his 2nd PSL century, showcasing his absolute best against Islamabad United, captained by Shadab Khan.
From his second century in the PSL to the entire Gaddafi Stadium including children and babies chanting his name and fans getting to witness his cherished bond with his mother, who graced the stadium for the first time—can you believe it? He even affectionately referred to his mother as his lucky charm in an interview.
The Babar Azam Dominance & His Lucky Charm
You can easily gauge Babar’s dominance by the fact that despite playing for Peshawar Zalmi against Islamabad United, the entire Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore was chanting his name. The match wasn’t just proof of Babar’s dominance due to his remarkable century, but also for a more endearing reason. It turns out that it was the very first time his mom came to the stadium to witness her son playing, and following that, Babar even made a special speech for his mother.
Babar Azam: “My mother came (to watch) for the first time. She’s very happy. She enjoyed it. She always watches at home but she proved to be (a source of) good luck for me. She came to watch the match and I scored a hundred.”
Is Babar Azam Bigger Than PSL Itself?
This raises the next question: Is Babar Azam himself larger than the PSL? Yet, at the same time, we ponder whether the nation is harnessing him as effectively as possible as a Pakistani ambassador, leveraging his undeniable popularity. Given his aura and brand power, shouldn’t we be leveraging his influence to build bridges internationally, perhaps with global brands? We wonder if we are maximizing his popularity and utilizing cricket diplomacy to its full potential.
