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, Pakistan Super League (PSL) is also creating a name for itself in franchise cricket history. Ever since its inception in 2016, there have been eight completed editions of the annual PSL T20 competition, 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 get to see only a few of them each season and on this page, Read Scoops is covering a complete PSL centuries list till date. See below for every PSL century scored till date…
In eight completed editions of the Pakistan Super League so far, there’s not been a single PSL season without an individual century, with at least one centurion being witnessed each season. Currently, there are a total of 24 PSL centuries with 15 unique centurions, last updated 10th Mar 2024, at the start of the HBL PSL 2024 season in Pakistan.

While 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 145 by England’s Jason Roy who scored this in PSL 2023 while representing Quetta Gladiators. In terms of the number of centuries, Kamran Akmal has the most (3) while Sharjeel Khan, Jason Roy, Fakhar Zaman, and Rilee Rossouw following him with the joint second most (2) PSL centuries to their names.

From the team-wise breakup, Lahore Qalandars has the most number of centuries (5) while Peshawar got 3 of their 4 PSL centuries from one batsman – Kamran Akmal. In the PSL 2023 season, the organisers came out with flat tracks and small boundaries, meaning as many as seven (7) centuries in that single season, and 7 of the top 10 highest PSL totals coming in 2023 itself.

One of the more destructive players in Pakistan domestic cricket, Sharjeel Khan was the first player to score a PSL century while Colin Ingram was the first overseas player to do so. Kamran Akmal was the first to two PSL centuries and then also became the first to three PSL centuries in PSL 2020. For a list of the highest run scorers in PSL history, you can check it out here.

Three of the top four highest scores in PSL history came in the PSL 2023 season itself, and if the trend of small ground and batting-friendly wickets continue, we may see many more new entrants into the PSL centuries list during the 2024 season. *Usman Khan scored his first PSL century as a local player and then the next two as an overseas player.
