T20 World Cup 2026: Pakistan's opener Sahibzada Farhan is in excellent form in the T20 World Cup 2026. Recently, he played an unbeaten inning of 100 runs in an important match against Namibia, which included 11 fours and 4 sixes in 58 balls. Due to this strong innings of Sahibzada Farhan, Pakistan team was successful in securing its place in Super-8. That means Pakistan team is going to play at least 3 more matches in the tournament. During this time, Sahibzada Farhan will have a chance to break a world record of Virat Kohli.
Farhan, who has played four matches of T20 World Cup 2026, has scored a total of 220 runs so far. This includes a brilliant century and a half-century. This is the second century of a Pakistani batsman in the T20 World Cup, the first one was scored by Ahmed Shehzad against Bangladesh in 2014. Sahibzada Farhan is also the highest run-scorer batsman in this edition. Apart from him, no other batsman has been able to touch the figure of 200 runs. Due to which Sahibzada Farhan is very close to breaking the record of scoring most runs in a single edition of T20 World Cup.
Currently, the record of scoring most runs in a single edition of T20 World Cup is in the name of Virat Kohli. Virat had scored the highest score of 319 runs in the 2014 edition. Farhan is now on the verge of leaving Kohli behind in this list. Sahibzada Farhan needs 100 runs to break this record. If Farhan continues to perform well in the Super 8, he can not only surpass Kohli but also become the first batsman to score 320+ runs in a single edition.
Pakistan has reached Super 8, where Farhan will get a chance to play at least three matches against Sri Lanka, New Zealand and England. In such a situation, if Sahibzada Farhan plays even 2 big innings, he can leave Virat Kohli behind. Whereas, if we talk about the batsmen who scored 300+ runs in an edition of T20 World Cup, apart from Virat, the names of Tillakaratne Dilshan, Babar Azam and Mahela Jayawardene are also included in this list.
