Sam Billings Trolls Babar Over PSL Records Babar Azam recently found himself at the center of social media banter after England's Sam Billings took a dig at his slow half-century in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025. Billings, who smashed the fastest fifty of the season in just 19 balls, reshared an Instagram post comparing it with Babar’s 47-ball fifty the slowest in this edition. Billings, representing Lahore Qalandars, achieved the feat against Quetta Gladiators, while Babar’s innings came for Peshawar Zalmi against Islamabad United.
