In the thrilling season of Pakistan Super League 2024, cricket aficionados were treated to a spectacle of extraordinary talent. Amidst the flurry of breathtaking shots and cunning deliveries, myKhel.com handpicks the best XI from the pool of exceptional players.

With Islamabad United and Multan Sultans reaching the final, most of the players expectedly come from the two franchises while two of the Peshawar Zalmi batters also found their place in the line-up.

Babar Azam (Peshawar Zalmi)

Leading from the front, Babar Azam's stellar performance for Peshawar Zalmi saw him amass 569 runs with an impressive average of 56.90 and a striking powerplay rate of 142.61. The batter won the Hanif Mohammad Cap (Green Cap) for the record third time as well.

Saim Ayub (Peshawar Zalmi)

Peshawar Zalmi's rising star Saim Ayub showcased remarkable improvement once again after the batter faltered at the international stage. Forming a formidable opening pair with Babar through the PSL 2024, the 21-year-old southpaw scored 345 runs at a staggering strike rate of 157.53, embellishing his innings with two vital half-centuries.

Usman Khan (Multan Sultans)

Usman Khan emerged as the second-highest run-scorer of PSL 2024, accumulating 430 runs at a blistering strike rate of 164.12, captivating audiences with his shot-making prowess. The Karachi-born UAE batter scored a memorable century after getting out on 96 a match before. The batter picked up form at a crucial point as his teammate Reeza Hendricks fizzled out after a good start in the tournament.

Shadab Khan (Islamabad United)

Impressing with his all-round brilliance, Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan contributed significantly in the title triumph. Making the No. 4 batting position his, Shabad scored 300-plus runs while claiming 14 crucial wickets with a commendable economy rate as he bowled crucial spells in the middle overs.

Azam Khan (Islamabad United)

The explosive wicketkeeper-batsman, Azam Khan, played a pivotal role in Islamabad United's triumphs. Often batting in the death overs, Azam rarely had time to settle down but that was no excuse for the batter, who ended the season with a strike rate of 171.21 while playing a crucial 30-run knock in the final as well.

Iftikhar Ahmed (Multan Sultans)

With a staggering strike rate of 193.28, Iftikhar Ahmed's explosive batting earned him admiration from fans. His handy contributions with the ball added depth to his impressive performances but his batting abilities once again reminded fans of 'Iftimania' while making hopeful of a similar show at the World Cup.

Usama Mir (Multan Sultans)

Multan Sultans' standout bowler Usama Mir wreaked havoc on opposition batsmen, claiming 24 wickets with an economy rate of 8.13, showcasing his knack for timely breakthroughs. The wrist spinner also recorded a 6/40 spell against two-time defending champions Lahore Qalandars, making him the first spinner to take a six-wicket haul in the tournament.

Imad Wasim (Islamabad United)

From a non-performing asset to a consistent match-winner when it mattered the most, Imad Wasim turned around his season following a slow start on individual front. The all-rounder's place in this line-up was never in doubt as he was man of the match in all the three knockout matches, including the final, where he also took a 5/23.

Mohammad Ali (Multan Sultans)

Multan Sultans' pace spearhead Mohammad Ali emerged as the leading wicket-taker among pacers, scalping 13 wickets in the initial matches, instilling fear in batsmen with his lethal deliveries. He finished the season with 19 wickets, justifying his selection to replace the big shoes of last year's Maroon Cap winner Ihsanullah, who couldn't participate due to a long injury layoff.

Naseem Shah (Islamabad United)

A standout performer for Islamabad United, Naseem Shah's 15 wickets at a miserly economy rate of 7.56, coupled with valuable contributions with the bat, showcased his all-round prowess. Similar to Imad, the pacer reserved his best performances for the play-off stages, impressing both in the powerplay and in the death overs.

David Willey (Multan Sultans)

Instrumental in guiding his team to the final, David Willey's adept bowling earned him 15 crucial wickets, highlighting his significance in Multan Sultans' campaign.
