PSL 2025: Sam Billings Pokes Fun At Babar Azam Over Contrasting Fifties In Hilarious Post
In a humorous turn of events during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025, England's Sam Billings playfully teased Pakistan's Babar Azam over their contrasting half-century performances. Billings, representing Lahore Qalandars, achieved the fastest fifty of the tournament, reaching the milestone in just 19 balls against Quetta Gladiators. Conversely, Babar Azam, leading Peshawar Zalmi, recorded the slowest fifty, taking 47 balls to reach the mark.
Billings shared an Instagram story juxtaposing their innings. This light-hearted jab highlighted the stark difference in their scoring rates while acknowledging that both innings contributed to their respective teams' victories.
Babar's slower-paced innings have attracted criticism, especially in the fast-paced T20 format where quick scoring is pivotal. Despite this, he remains a key figure in Pakistan's cricket landscape.
The PSL 2025 faced an unexpected halt due to geopolitical tensions but is scheduled to resume on May 17, with the final set for May 25. As the tournament progresses, fans eagerly anticipate more thrilling performances and perhaps more playful banter among players.
