Babar Azam played a pivotal role in Peshawar Zalmi’s PSL 2026 championship triumph. The Pakistan captain attributed his success to destiny, stating ‘I have a firm belief that you get what is destined for you.’ His performance helped the franchise clinch the title.
Babar’s destiny comment sidesteps accountability—champions are built through preparation, not providence. Peshawar’s title run hinged on their aggressive middle-order restructuring mid-season, a gamble few franchises attempted. The captain’s philosophical deflection masks what was actually a shrewd squad overhaul. We credit the trophy to smart cricket, not fate.
Washington Sundar delivered a crucial innings on a challenging Ahmedabad wicket as Gujarat Titans faced difficulties on Sunday. Shubman Gill praised the allrounder for stepping up when the team needed him most, preventing GT from collapsing during the match.
Gujarat Titans have a Sundar problem—they’re too dependent on one player saving bad days. His Ahmedabad performance was excellent, but Gill’s public praise masks a deeper issue: GT’s middle order lacks depth. When your franchise captain needs to publicly credit a mid-order batsman for “rescue” work, your lineup construction has failed. Sundar’s heroics papered over cracks that’ll cost them matches.
