Pakistan batter Babar Azam showcased his T20 mastery, slamming his 11th T20 century in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024. Leading Peshawar Zalmi against Islamabad United at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the former Pakistan skipper's exceptional innings added another milestone to his illustrious career.

Babar's century, the second in PSL and 11th overall highlighted his consistency and dominance in the T20 format. Opting to bat first, Peshawar Zalmi posted an imposing total of 201 for the loss of five wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Facing Islamabad United, captained by Shadab Khan, Babar's innings stood out as a testament to his remarkable batting prowess.

The right-handed batsman's half-century came off 39 balls, and he accelerated swiftly to reach his three-figure mark in just 59 balls. Babar's ability to seamlessly transition between gears showcased his adaptability and control over the game.

The innings not only fueled Peshawar Zalmi's commanding total but also solidified Babar Azam's reputation as one of the premier T20 batsmen in the cricketing world. His stellar performance left an indelible mark on the PSL 2024, earning him accolades for his stupendous display at the Gaddafi Stadium. As Babar completed another century, here is the updated list of players with the most T20 centuries.

Chris Gayle leads the chart by a double margin!

Chris Gayle, the legendary West Indies cricketer, has etched his name in T20 cricket history with a record of 22 centuries. He is marking a remarkable career that began with his T20 debut in 2005. His unparalleled ability to consistently deliver stellar performances in the shortest format distinguishes him as the leading centurion in T20 cricket.

In comparison, renowned players like Virat Kohli, David Warner, Aaron Finch, and Michael Klinger share the third position with eight centuries each. This illustrious quartet, while displaying their exceptional batting prowess, falls behind the T20 centurion record set by the indomitable Chris Gayle, solidifying his status as a true icon in the world of T20 cricket.
