PSL 2025: Who Came Out on Top in the Battle for Runs?

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is theatre, hard-hitting, and dramatic finishes always steal the show, but there is a winner for most runs when it comes to recognizing the best batsman out there. Now that we are at the halfway point of PSL 2025, things are heating up with some of the biggest names in the league stepping up at the top of the performance table. The question we want to answer: Who is leading the top run scorers table? Let’s dive into the players who have shone during the tournament with their bat and where they currently are on the leaderboard.

Mohammad Rizwan

Mohammad Rizwan, the opening batter for the Multan Sultans, is leaving a lasting impression on PSL 2025. With 363 runs in the batting column, Rizwan is currently the top run scorer in the tournament thus far. Rizwan illustrates consistency and how to build innings based on numerous games. Rizwan has played all 9 matches with an impressive average of 60.50, at a varying but impressive strike rate of 139.08, giving the Sultans consistency at the top without losing that element of danger.

He scored 105* the other night, which is his top score, and his placement, ability to rotate strike, and find the gap with relative ease have seen him become a fan favourite. I like to watch him, and combined with his technique of play and situational awareness, his will to win playing for a team is evident.

Sahibzada Farhan

Rizwan brings the steady heartbeat, but Sahibzada Farhan is pure pulse-racing electricity. While one anchors, the other ignites. Farhan has mustered up 321 runs at an aggressive strike rate of 150, the highest of the top run makers, with his best innings being a barrel-chested 106 against tough competition. 

What sets Farhan apart, aside from his entertaining strike rate, it’s the mindset he takes to the crease. He embodies character, whether faced with early challenges or big chases, Farhan approaches every game like he can change the outcome of it. In just 9 games, he is already at 17 6’s, which really doesn’t shy away from the attempt to clear the boundary rope, and would likely be the most exciting player to watch in the tournament.

Fakhar Zaman

Fakhar Zaman’s numbers haven’t been stacked up through the course of this year’s PSL season like those of Mohamed Rizwan or Sahibzada Farhan, but for the Lahore Qalandars, for whom he has scored 309 runs, off 203 balls, with a strike rate of 151.97, have been positive. He has three half-centuries and has also shown, he has a bit of an ability to build innings under pressure.

What is noteworthy is Fakhar’s versatility. He can make the most of what is presented to him, With a strike rate of more than 150, about attacking the bowlers and building the scoring momentum, the performance is massive for Lahore when trying to chase runs down, even if he has not blasted any centuries. 

Rizwan has been consistent and a top scorer, Farhan is explosive and can, on any day, hit the ball as far, and play to succeed. While Fakhar Zaman is not a top run scorer, he has and continues to be a consistent contributor, irrespective of runs scored or punctuated for his team’s overall success.
