The pitches in Pakistan are a sure-shot guarantee for a run fest. Another run-fest is about to begin. Yes, we are talking about the Pakistan Super League. PSL is back with another season of excitement and frenzy. In this article, we will take a look at the top 3 contenders to emerge as the highest run-scorer in PSL 2024.
Top contenders for the highest run-scorer in PSL 2024:
1. Mohammad Rizwan
The most in-form batter from Pakistan deserves a place in this list. Mohammad Rizwan has been a consistent performer in this league and he will be gunning for glory with the bat this time around as well. The recent results have not been rewarding for Pakistan in international cricket but that has not affected Rizwan’s run-scoring form. In the recent New Zealand series, he was the only batter who could not be troubled by the opposition bowlers. Last year, he was the highest run-scorer in PSL, and the run-scoring charts can look identical at the end of the season if Rizwan continues his glorious form.
2. Fakhar Zaman
The explosive left-hander Fakhar Zaman is another prominent contender to end up as the highest run-scorer in the upcoming season of PSL. Zaman likes operating in batting-friendly wickets in Pakistan which assists his free-flowing style of batting. His destructive template has produced results for him in the shortest format of the game and the experienced top-order batter would want to continue playing in his customary fashion. Fakhar scored 429 runs in the last season and finished the season as one of the top run-scorers in the league. Lahore Qalandars fans would be hoping he replicates his heroics.
3. Rilee Rossouw
The 34-year-old South African is a familiar face among cricket fans in Pakistan. It is his batting track record in the league that has given him such recognition. Rilee Rossouw has always been an impactful player in PSL and the league has been a happy hunting ground for him. Last year he was playing for Multan Sultans and finished the season with 453 runs in his account. The colours have changed for him this season as he has joined Quetta Gladiators but there won’t be any change in his approach.
