Quetta Gladiators’ young batter Hasan Nawaz has joined Babar Azam in a unique club during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 clash against Islamabad United on Wednesday.
The emerging batter delivered a scintillating performance, becoming only the second Pakistani player after Babar to score centuries in both the PSL and T20 Internationals (T20Is) in the same calendar year.
Nawaz blasted his maiden PSL ton, an unbeaten 100 off just 45 balls, laced with four boundaries and nine towering sixes.
His fireworks powered Quetta Gladiators to a record-breaking 263/3 in 20 overs, the highest-ever total in PSL history.
Earlier this year, Hasan Nawaz had announced his arrival on the international stage with an unbeaten 105 off 45 balls against New Zealand, an innings decorated with 10 fours and seven sixes that sealed a win for Pakistan.
Both of Hasan’s hundreds, domestic and international, came in winning causes, further underlining his credentials as a game-changer.
With this feat, he joins former skipper Babar Azam, who achieved the same milestone in 2023.
Babar had hammered 115 off 65 balls for Peshawar Zalmi against Quetta in the PSL, and later followed it up with a classy 101 off 58 deliveries in a T20I against New Zealand.
