Record-Breaking Wild Story of PSL 2025

If you are thinking that cricket records are only a set of numbers on a scorecard, then think again. PSL Season 10 was not simply about the trophy but about rewriting the T20 playbook with mind-boggling exploits, heart-racing finishes, and a bucket of sixes, sending fans into total frenzy. With Lahore Qalandars’ heart-stopping chase and Shaheen’s inspired leadership, the bar was raised high this season. Let us now peel back those record-breaking moments that made PSL X a cricketing festival.

Shaheen’s Cool-Headed Command in the PSL

To take a team to a championship is wonderful; to do it three times… that is legendary. Shaheen Shah Afridi’s captaincy this season has turned heads and perspective, as he is now the only PSL captain to have three titles, while no other captain has even two. How has this happened? By a combination of calm tactical awareness, aggressive captaincy, and with young players like Muhammad Naeem. Afridi’s captaincy has created a winning mentality for the Lahore Qalandars, showing that the right mix of youth with the right experience is a potent combination. His captaincy was about more than tactics, but more about creating belief, an important characteristic with any championship team.

Sixes Galore and a Chase for the Ages

If PSL 10 had been a film, it would have been an action-packed thriller. Who needs bowling when bats are breathing fire? With 500 sixes, PSL 2025 felt less like cricket, more like ballistic art. Fittingly, the final delivered fireworks too—Quetta’s 201 looked imposing until Muhammad Naeem rewrote history, launching six sixes and becoming the first ever to do so in a PSL final. Naeem went on to destroy them with a remarkable 47 runs off just 27 balls, and gave Lahore a chance, and eventually turned the game. A successful chase of over 200 in a T20 final is unprecedented in cricket history to date. Lahore remains the only franchise to have done it, while Quetta became the very first team to score over 200 and lose a final. The drama, frenzy, and fireworks of that chase highlighted a new normal, `anything can happen’ in T20 cricket.

Fielding Woes: The Ugly Side of PSL 10

Every highlight reel likely included its lowlight, and for PSL 10, it was the fielding – not to mention the lack of it – and the staggering number of dropped catches; an astounding 96! When you factor in the number of missed fields or missed stumpings, we certainly have never seen fielding at a lower standard in the PSL. Quite simply, this was the worst level of fielding that we have ever seen in 10 years of PSL action. For a league that prides itself on athleticism and reflexes, this was shocking. Yes, six-hitting and aggressive batting have been the headlines of PSL 10, but when poor fielding occurs, it can change the games and frustrate any plans that captains may have. For every drop that occurred, runs were lost, and the opposition openers were given lives; they brought into question how much teams had practised and how much concentration was brought to the field. We are not sure what the teams will take for the next season, but T20 cricket isn’t all about brute force; saving runs is also important.
