Kusal Mendis, a star batter for Peshawar Zalmi, has etched his name in the history books of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) by becoming the quickest player to reach 500 runs. This remarkable achievement came during Zalmi’s resounding victory over Quetta Gladiators at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium, where the team secured a commanding 118-run win. Mendis’s remarkable feat was accomplished in just 12 innings, setting a new benchmark in the competition and catapulting him to the top of the list of players who have achieved the milestone in the fewest innings. Previously, the record was jointly held by Luke Ronchi, Usman Khan, and Rassie van der Dussen, who all reached 500 PSL runs in 13 innings. Quetta Gladiators’ decision to field first after winning the toss proved to be a costly mistake as Zalmi’s batsmen took control from the outset. Peshawar Zalmi amassed a massive 255-3 in 20 overs, the third-highest total in PSL history, with Babar Azam’s unbeaten 100 off 52 balls being the driving force behind the innings. Mendis played a pivotal role, scoring 83 off 44 balls and forming a 135-run partnership with Babar Azam. Despite Usman Tariq, Abrar Ahmed, and Alzarri Joseph picking up a wicket each, they were unable to stem the flow of runs. Zalmi accelerated further by adding 76 runs in the final five overs before bowling out Quetta Gladiators for 137 in 18.1 overs, securing a comprehensive 118-run win. Kusal Mendis has been in scorching form throughout PSL 2026, smashing runs at a strike rate of over 169 while maintaining an average of around 50. His impressive performances have included multiple high-scoring knocks and consistent match-winning contributions that have propelled Peshawar Zalmi up the standings.
