This T20 franchise tournament may not be as old as the Indian Premier League (IPL) or the Big Bash League (BBL) but slow and steadily, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is also creating a name for itself in franchise cricket history. Ever since its inception in 2016, there have been six completed editions of the annual PSL T20, with plenty of records broken and milestones achieved each year.Some records are broken in the field, some by the batsmen and some by the bowlers but since T20 is known to be a batsman's game, we're going to talk about some PSL T20 batting records today. Since centuries are rare in this shortest format of the game, we barely get to see a few of them each season and here, Read Scoops is covering all the PSL centuries scored till date. See below for more details…In six editions of the Pakistan Super League so far, there's not been a single PSL season without an individual century so far, with at least one centurion being witnessed each year. Prior to the start of the HBL PSL 7 season in Jan 2022, there were a total of 10 PSL centuries with 7 unique centurions. Of these, five were centuries by local players while five were by international signings.SEE ALSO: List of top online sports betting websitesWhile the IPL and BBL have both seen individual scores in excess of 150+, the highest scorer is much lower in the Pakistan T20 league, with the best being 127* by South Africa's Colin Ingram who scored this in PSL 2019 while representing Karachi Kings. In terms of the number of centuries, Kamran Akmal has the most (3) while Sharjeel Khan follows him with the second most (2) PSL centuries to their names.List of all Pakistan Super League centuries ever scoredSr.NameTeamDateScore1Sharjeel KhanIslamabad United21 Feb 2016117(62)2Kamran AkmalPeshawar Zalmi3 Mar 2017104(65)3Kamran Akmal (2)Peshawar Zalmi16 Mar 2018107(61)*4Colin IngramKarachi Kings24 Feb 2019127(59)*5Cameron DelportIslamabad United9 Mar 2019117(60)*6Kamran Akmal (3)Peshawar Zalmi21 Feb 2020101(55)7Rilee RossouwMultan Sultans29 Feb 2020100(44)*8Chris LynnLahore Qalandars15 Mar 2020113(55)*9Sharjeel Khan (2)Karachi Kings24 Feb 2021105(59)10Usman KhawajaIslamabad United17 Jun 2021105(56)*From the team-wise breakup, both of Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United have the most number of centuries (3 each) and Peshawar got all of these from one single batsman – Kamran Akmal.
