A Century in T20 cricket is among the most difficult task and scoring the most hundreds in PSL against lethal bowlers from Pakistan is even more challenging. The chance that a batter will reach a century is less because the game moves so quickly, which leads to an increase in the risk of losing the wicket.
This risk is also associated with the batting order in which any batter bats in t20 cricket. Most batting openers at top orders have a century record in T20 cricket because they have more time to take risks and score big compared to lower-order batters.
This is the same case with the Pakistan Super League, where most of the opening batters have scored centuries in the past. Kamran Akmal has the record for scoring the most centuries (03) in PSL for Peshawar Zalmi. He scored these centuries in 2017,2018 and 2020.
