In the match between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators Babar and Roy, both put on tremendous performances with the bat. Babar’s dip in scoring rate around the century mark is the time when Simon Doull, who was doing commentary, observed the shift in momentum and didn’t hesitate to criticise Babar.

“Rather than putting the team first… the last little while, that’s all that been happening. Rather than looking for boundaries, still so much firepower to come. Hundreds are brilliant, stats are great, but it has to be team first,” said Doull.
