Usman Khan Makes PSL History With Record-Breaking Hundred

Hyderabad Kingsmen wicketkeeper-batter Usman Khan made history at the Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) by becoming the first player to score four centuries in the tournament.

The right-hander reached the milestone during Hyderabad’s match against Multan Sultans at the National Bank Stadium, where he played a match-winning knock of 101 off 47 balls. His innings included 10 sixes and five fours and came at a time when Hyderabad were in serious trouble.

Usman Khan walked in at 48/3 in 5.2 overs with Muhammad Ismail on a hat-trick and the chase beginning to slip away. He also survived a huge early let-off, as Multan failed to appeal for a possible edge on the first ball he faced.

From there, he completely turned the game around with an aggressive counterattack and carried Hyderabad to a famous win.

With that century, Usman moved past Babar Azam, Rilee Rossouw and Kamran Akmal, who each have three PSL hundreds.

Most Hundreds in PSL History

Player 100s Innings
Usman Khan 4 33
Kamran Akmal 3 74
Rilee Rossouw 3 97
Fakhar Zaman 3 103
Babar Azam 3 106

What makes the feat even more notable is that Usman scored his first three PSL centuries for Multan Sultans, the same team he punished this time for his record-breaking fourth ton.

He represented Multan in three editions before being picked by Hyderabad Kingsmen in the Diamond category ahead of the latest season.

Usman’s first PSL hundred came against Quetta Gladiators in the 2023 season. He then added two more centuries the following year against Karachi Kings and Islamabad United.

He also holds another major PSL record,  the fastest century in tournament history, which came off just 36 balls against Quetta.

The latest hundred not only sealed a memorable chase for Hyderabad but also strengthened Usman’s status as one of the most explosive batters the league has seen.
