The 关键字1Pakistan Super League (PSL) marked a significant milestone this week as it celebrated its 300th match when Quetta Gladiators took on Multan Sultans at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Interestingly, the Gladiators were also part of the league's inaugural fixture on February 4, 2016 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, and they emerged victorious on both the historic occasions - the opening and the 300th match.

Over the course of 10 thrilling seasons and 300 action-packed games, the PSL has offered fans in Pakistan and across the globe a platform to witness world-class cricket, showcasing top-tier talent and unforgettable moments.

Salman Naseer, CEO of the Pakistan Super League, expressed his pride on this landmark occasion.

"We are incredibly proud to have witnessed the 300th match of the HBL PSL history. The HBL PSL has never looked back after taking off in 2016 and its success throughout the whole decade is a testament to the quality of cricket on display and utmost confidence of the fans and players alike on the brand," Naseer said.

"I congratulate each and everyone who has been involved with the HBL PSL in any capacity during these ten years especially the fans, franchises, commercial and services partners. It is because of their commitment that the league continues to grow, prosper and entertain us all season after season," he added.

Among the standout performers in league history is Babar Azam, who has participated in all 10 seasons. He holds multiple records, including most runs (3,621 in 96 matches), most half-centuries (34), and most fours (401).

He also tops the chart for most appearances and has taken the most catches (49) in PSL history.
