Usman Khan Eyes Historic Double Century in PSL 10
As the 10th edition of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) kicks off this Friday, Multan Sultans’ explosive wicketkeeper-batter Usman Khan has set his sights on making history. In an exclusive interview with Geo News, the 29-year-old expressed his bold ambition: to become the first player to score a double century in PSL history.
Usman already holds the record for the fastest century in the league, and now he’s eyeing a new milestone.
“I want to score a double century in this year’s PSL and will perform well for the team,” said Usman.
Redemption After Final Heartbreaks
The Multan Sultans have faced repeated heartbreak in recent seasons, finishing as runners-up in the last three PSL finals. Determined to end that streak, Usman highlighted the team’s renewed focus for PSL 10.
“We have worked hard. Our effort will be to play normal cricket and perform well. This time, the goal is to win it.”
He also revealed that captain Mohammad Rizwan has emphasized the need to stay calm under pressure, encouraging the squad to play pressure-free cricket to deliver their best.
Strength in Depth and Strategy
Usman praised the Sultans’ squad for its balance of experienced and emerging talent, calling it a crucial strength. He stressed that early momentum and finding the right playing combination would be key factors in this season’s success.
“Finding the right combination early and sticking with it will be vital.”
With a dynamic top-order role, Usman plans to take an aggressive approach, particularly during the powerplay and middle overs, to keep up with the fast-evolving demands of modern T20 cricket.
A Dream Realized: From UAE to Pakistan
Reflecting on his international career, Usman spoke about his sacrifice of switching allegiance from the UAE to Pakistan—a bold move that drew criticism from some.
“Many told me I made a mistake, but I sacrificed for my dream. By Allah’s grace, I got the chance to represent Pakistan.”
Now, with PSL 10 offering a fresh stage, Usman is eager to make a statement—not just for his team, but for his personal journey.
Final Thoughts
With PSL 10 underway, all eyes will be on Usman Khan and the Multan Sultans. Will this be the year they finally lift the trophy—and can Usman achieve the first-ever double century in PSL history? The stakes have never been higher.
