Babar Azam is one of the finest batters in not only Pakistan, but all over the globe, and whenever he walks out to bat, there are massive expectations from him. However, he has been not in great form in recent times, and it could affect his numbers in the upcoming PSL10.

Also, there are some quality Pakistan cricketers who are in good form and would be itching to have a successful PSL to force themselves into the national side. Thus, let's see who will be those three Pakistan players who can outscore Babar Azam in PSL 2025.

1. Sahibzada Farhan

Sahibzada Farhan has grown in stature in last year or so, and has a superb T20 record. He has all the gears in his batting, and has mixed caution with aggression to great effect in recent times. He has 3135 runs in 101 T20 innings with an average of 34.35 and has five hundreds and eight fifties in the format.

As shown in the table, he was in stunning touch with the bat in the recently held National T20 Cup. He hit two massive hundreds in that tournament, with one score of 162, and another one of 148 which shows the kind of form he is in. He would also open the batting for Islamabad United, and thus has a great chance this season to outscore Babar Azam.

2. Saim Ayub

Saim Ayub is one of the most talented young cricketers in Pakistan, and would open for Peshawar Zalmi alongside Babar Azam. He is coming out of a long injury layoff and it he can continue the form he showed before he got injured, Saim Ayub can break plenty of records in PSL 2025.

As evident from the table, Saim Ayub was at his belligerent best in the last season too, as he scored his runs close to the strike-rate of 160. The left-handed batter is a naturally aggressive batter and with pitches expected to be flat, he could destroy lot of bowling attacks. Also, he has matured a lot with international experience in the last year or so, withg hundreds in all formats and varied conditions, making him a player to watch out in PSL10.

3. Usman Khan

Usman Khan was brilliant in PSL 2024, and was the second highest run-scorer after Babar Azam. He has played for Pakistan since and though has not done a lot at the international level, he would be itching to prove a point again in the upcoming PSL edition.

Thus, with international experience at his disposal, and good batting decks expected in the PSL, Usman Khan can make an impact yet again.
