The Pakistan Super League’s upcoming season will begin on Friday, April 11. This season will have 34 matches in all, with May 18 being the grand finals. Even though the PSL isn’t as big as the Indian Premier League, it’s still a top-tier competition and a player favorite.
Only five players have reached the 2,000-run milestone in PSL history thus far, and surprisingly, only one is not from Pakistan. Now let’s examine the list of the Pakistan Super League’s all-time top run-scorers.

Babar Azam leads the run-scoring charts in the Pakistan Super League. With 3,504 runs in 90 matches, he holds a remarkable average of 45.50. Known for his stylish stroke play and unwavering consistency, Babar has been a key performer for multiple PSL franchises, including Islamabad United, Karachi Kings, and Peshawar Zalmi.
