Babar Azam joins the List of must-duck players in the PSL

Babar Azam, a well-known batsman from Pakistan, faced a disappointing start to the PSL 10 season by being dismissed for a duck in the opening match, having faced just two deliveries. This early dismissal has earned him a spot among the players with the most ducks in PSL history, putting him on par with Kamran Akmal and surpassing Shaheen Shah Afridi. Here we will discuss Babar Azam joins the List of must-duck players in the PSL.

This unexpected turn of events has ignited discussions within the cricket community, particularly considering Babar’s renowned stature in the sport.

A Rare Failure for a Consistent Performer

Babar Azam is recognized for his grace, reliability, and skill in stabilizing an innings when under pressure. A duck is a rare outcome for the prolific right-handed batsman, which is why his recent dismissal without scoring attracted the notice of fans and analysts. Although it may have been a low moment in the match, it highlights the unpredictable nature of cricket, and even the finest players can experience off days.

Most Ducks in PSL: Imad Leads the List

Babar’s latest duck places him among the increasing number of players who have recorded multiple ducks in PSL history. Nonetheless, he has a significant distance to cover before he can match the existing record holders.

• Imad Wasim leads the record with 12 ducks in PSL history. 
• Veteran fast bowler Wahab Riaz follows him, having recorded a total of 10 ducks.

Babar Azam has added another duck to his PSL career stats. This list doesn’t necessarily reflect a player’s overall contribution, as many of these names have also played key roles in their teams’ successes.

Babar Azam Eyes Comeback as Zalmi Face Islamabad United

Right now, the title for the most ducks in PSL belongs to Imad Wasim, who has had the unfortunate luck of getting out for a duck in 12 innings. Wahab Riaz follows closely behind with 10 ducks. 

It was a surprising moment for Babar when he also fell for a duck, but let’s remember he’s still the highest run-scorer in PSL history! One bad day at the crease doesn’t change that, and fans are excited to see him bounce back. 

Peshawar Zalmi has an upcoming match against Islamabad United tomorrow, and everyone is eager to watch Babar Azam return to form. Here’s hoping he continues his journey to being the top scorer of PSL 10!

Conclusion

Babar Azam’s surprising duck in the PSL 10 opener may have placed him among the players with the highest number of ducks in the league, but it doesn’t diminish his reputation as one of the most reliable and graceful batsmen in T20 cricket. This unusual setback merely underscores the game’s inherent unpredictability. As the tournament progresses, both fans and analysts will be keenly observing, hoping to see Babar rebound and guide Peshawar Zalmi once again — just as he has on numerous occasions before.
