The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 awards season brought notable moments and a few surprises for fans and players alike. In the final, Lahore Qalandars clinched their third PSL title after defeating Quetta Gladiators, marking a historic achievement for the franchise[4][5].
Individual accolades were also in the spotlight. Hasan Nawaz from Quetta Gladiators was a standout, securing both the Best Young Player and Batter of the Tournament awards, each accompanied by a cash prize of ₹35 lakh. He was also named Player of the Tournament by HBL, further cementing his rising-star status[1]. The Spirit of Cricket Award went to Peshawar Zalmi, recognizing their exemplary conduct throughout the season with an accompanying prize of ₹35 lakh[1].
For team awards, the runner-up, Quetta Gladiators, received ₹1.6 crore in prize money, while the champion Lahore Qalandars took home the grand prize of ₹14 crore—marking a record payout for the league[1].
In a lighthearted twist, this season saw unconventional Player of the Match awards gain social media attention. Karachi Kings’ Hasan Ali was handed a trimmer following his standout performance against Lahore Qalandars, while James Vince received a hair dryer as the “most reliable player of the match” earlier in the competition. These quirky awards sparked amusement among fans and became viral talking points online[2][6].
The Green Cap for leading run-scorer, along with the Hanif Mohammad Award, continued as an annual tradition. Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman led the run-scoring charts late into the playoffs, vying for one of the competition’s most prestigious individual honors[3].
