The performance of the Pakistani team in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2026 has been full of ups and downs. This team narrowly lost the very first match to Netherlands. At the same time, he had to face a crushing defeat against Team India. Somehow this team reached the Super-8 but in this round also the condition of the team is very bad and now it seems difficult for it to reach the semi-finals. But amidst all this, one batsman of the team is close to creating history. This player has his eyes set on Virat Kohli's great record. But this batsman is not Babar Azam, but opener Sahibzada Farhan.

On Tuesday, 24 February, in its second match of the Super-8 round, Pakistan had to face defeat at the hands of England by 2 wickets. This gave a big blow to Pakistan's hopes of reaching the semi-finals. But in this match also, Sahibzada Farhan played a strong innings for the Pakistani team and scored a half-century. Farhan, who came in the opening, played an inning of 63 runs in 45 balls. This was the third time in this World Cup, when this batsman had scored more than 50.

This inning of Farhan could not bring victory to the Pakistani team but on the basis of it he came closer to breaking a world record. This record is the most runs in a T20 World Cup. This record is in the name of former Indian captain Virat Kohli, who scored 319 runs in 6 innings in the 2014 edition. Kohli then broke the record of former Sri Lankan legend Tillakaratne Dilshan, who had scored 317 runs in 2009.

Sahibzada Farhan has so far scored 283 runs in 5 innings in the T20 World Cup 2026, which is the highest in this World Cup. In this way, to break this record, he now needs only 37 runs and he has at least one match left in this World Cup. Pakistan's last match in Super-8 is against Sri Lanka and here Farhan will try to break this record because if Pakistani team loses this match then he will not get this chance again. If Pakistan wins and reaches the semi-finals, Farhan will have one more chance.

Well, not only Pakistani batsman, but West Indies' explosive batsman Shimron Hetmyer also has a chance to reach this record. Hetmyer has scored 219 runs in just 5 innings of the current tournament and is in great form. His team still has to face South Africa and then India in the Super-8 round. In such a situation, he will have to score at least 101 runs in these 2 matches only. If the West Indies team reaches the semi-finals, Hetmyer will have a chance to do this feat there too.
