The HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) has yearly top individual honours — the Hanif Mohammad and Fazal Mahmood awards — as the 2025 season enters its decisive phase.
Introduced in the second PSL season, the Hanif Mohammad Award (Green cap) and Fazal Mahmood Award (Maroon cap) are given to the leading run-scorer and wicket-taker, respectively.
Players wear the caps throughout the tournament and retain them if they finish top by the final match.
Islamabad United’s Sahibzada Farhan, the current Green cap holder, has powered United’s top-order with consistent scoring and leads the run charts with 214 runs.
He has been in electric form, already scoring a century earlier on in the tournament.
He is being closely chased by Karachi Kings’ James Vince (186) and Peshawar Zalmi’s Mohammad Haris (173).

In the bowling department, Jason Holder, also of Islamabad United, leads with 11 wickets and has been a consistent threat with the ball for the team.
Thanks to both Holder and Farhan’s performances, Islamabad United recently broke the record for longest winning streak in HBL PSL history.
Hasan Ali, representing Karachi Kings, remains close behind with 10 wickets. Shadab Khan and Abbas Afridi, both on eight wickets, are also in the mix.

With the playoff race tightening, the pursuit of individual accolades continues to add drama to an already high-stakes HBL PSL season.
