LAHORE: Peshawar Zalmi’s owner, Javed Afridi, presented star batter Babar Azam with a white MG car as a token of appreciation for his exceptional performance in the 2024 Pakistan Super League (PSL) season.
Afridi shared a photo of Babar Azam happily seated inside his new car on X (formerly Twitter), where Babar took it for a test drive. The car, valued at approximately PKR 72.0 – 81.0 lacs, signifies Afridi’s recognition of Babar’s achievements for his team.
Babar Azam, the captain of Peshawar Zalmi, emerged as the highest run-scorer in PSL 9, amassing an impressive total of 569 runs in 11 matches at an average of 56.90, including five half-centuries and one century. Despite his stellar performance, Zalmi fell short of winning the title and were eliminated from the tournament in the Eliminator, losing to eventual champions Islamabad United.
Peshawar Zalmi chairman Javed Afridi had announced to gift MG car to Babar Azam upon his century.
Today, Babar Azam visited the MG office in Lahore, where Afridi formally presented him with the MG HS Essence car.
It’s worth noting that the Essence car is entirely manufactured in Pakistan.
It’s important to mention that Babar is currently leading the Pakistan national team in the ongoing five-match T20I series against New Zealand.
