Highest Score: Salman Butt's standout innings came against the Chennai Super Kings, where he scored 73 runs off 54 balls. This innings not only helped him achieve his highest score of the tournament but also positioned him 14th among all players for the highest individual scores in matches that season.
Total Runs: Over the course of the tournament, Butt accumulated a total of 193 runs. Though this placed him at 27th in terms of overall running this year, it reflected his contributions in various matches throughout the season.
