Unleashing a torrent of runs that reverberated through the lush greens of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024, Pakistani cricketer Babar Azam ended his stint with the Rangpur Riders, not only as the leading run-scorer of the tournament but also as a symbol of relentless ambition. With a remarkable 251 runs from 6 matches at an average of 50.20 and a strike-rate of 114.61, Babar’s exceptional performance included two half-centuries, with a top score of 62 against Durdanto Dhaka.

A Journey of Peaks and Troughs

Despite a low score of 2 against Khulna Tigers, Babar’s cricketing journey during the BPL was one of consistent peaks punctuated by occasional troughs. As he navigated the tournament, his scores of 56 not out, 62, 37, 47, and 47 in various matches stood as testaments to his unwavering focus and significant contributions to the team.

An Emotional Farewell

As his BPL journey came to an end, Babar penned an emotional farewell note to the Rangpur Riders. His words, dripping with gratitude, showcased his humility and team spirit. He urged his team to remain undeterred in their pursuit of the championship, setting a tone of hopeful anticipation for what lies ahead.

Marching Towards a Personal Milestone

Now, the Pakistani star is set to join Peshawar Zalmi for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024, as he marches towards a significant personal milestone. With just 74 more runs needed, Babar is on the brink of joining the elite club of batters who have scored 10,000 runs in T20 cricket, standing poised to become the 13th batter to reach this mark. His NOC from the Pakistan Cricket Board, allowing him to participate in the BPL until February 6, has been instrumental in his journey thus far.
