#3 Hazratullah Zazai, Peshawar Zalmi

Afghanistan's dashing left-handed opener Hazratullah Zazai took the PSL by storm in his debut game for Peshawar Zalmi. He smashed a brutal 26-ball 63, at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 242.31. In the process, he also recorded the joint-fastest fifty in the history of the PSL (17 balls).

That was about as one-sided a win as it gets. @PeshawarZalmi were ruthless tonight! Third loss in a row for @KarachiKingsARY #MatchDikhao l #HBLPSL6 I #PZvKK pic.twitter.com/D6nRhCwo5C

The likes of Hamish Rutherford, Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal have also been amongst the runs. However, Zazai can decimate any attack ruthlessly. He lived up to his reputation during debut and is a must pick for your Dream 11 side.

Peshawar Zalmi skipper Wahab Riaz has led by example this season. The left-arm quick has picked up the most wickets so far with 14 scalps. In fact, his best figures of 4/17 came against Islamabad United the last time the two teams met.

4 overs. 4-17. Terrific comeback from Wahab Riaz today. After two difficult games and a seemingly endless stream of criticism from across the board, he showed some real character tonight. On his day, there are few better 👏👏👏 #HBLPSL6 pic.twitter.com/lIw5sIilLa
