Top 10 Highest Run-Scorers in PSL Season 11 2026: Full List

The HBL PSL 11 (2026) was much bigger and more exciting this time as the tournament was played between 8 teams instead of 6. From 26 March to 3 May, such a storm of cricket came in the grounds of Karachi and Lahore that forced the fans to dance. In this season, Peshawar Zalmi lifted their second PSL trophy by defeating Hyderabad Kingsmen in the final. Previously, Peshawar Zalmi had won the PSL title in 2017, but the real talk was about the batsmen who rained boundaries. Babar Azam once again proved his consistency by scoring 588 runs and scoring two centuries in PSL 11, while players like Kusal Mendis and Usman Khan stunned everyone with their aggression.
