Best Player (Peoples choice)

The top spot changed hands four times before day 7 — Rafay opened strong, Sheharyar snatched it on day 2, Shahzaib grabbed it on day 5, Sheharyar clawed it back a day later, and Shahzaib retook it for good on day 7. That week decided the entire 62-day poll.

From day 8 onward, nothing moved. Shahzaib's margin over Sheharyar held at 35-36% for 55 straight days, a gap of roughly 100 votes that neither side ever closed. Shahzaib Ahmed Khan finished on top with 1,570 votes to Sheharyar Jahangir's 1,474, while the rest of the field trailed in single digits.
