On the air, he said: “Fifty in security, class, and quality, calmness. He is your guy in such a situation, in the back deep in the innings. I just absolutely love him – wanna marry him”. Meanwhile, with this century, Babar also became the second batter after Chris Gayle (22 centuries) to score 10 or more T-20 centuries. It was the 10th T20 century for the skipper of the Men in Green.  

He bagged the Player of the Match award and during the post-match presentation, he said: “We started off well, Later we tried to manage the run rate. I thought 190 to 200 was a good score. Credit to the bowlers, they came back after the 12th over. I was trying to build a partnership and play long and deep. Today, it was a much better wicket.” Babar has scored 211 runs so far in four matches of his maiden LPL season, including one fifty and one century.
