Sahibzada Farhan Chance To Break Virat Kohli World Record: Pakistan’s opening batsman Sahibzada Farhan has performed well so far in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Recently, in an important match against Namibia in Colombo, Sahibzada played a brilliant inning of 100 unbeaten runs, in which he faced 58 balls and hit 11 fours and 4 sixes. Due to this strong innings of Sahibzada Farhan, Pakistan team was successful in securing its place in Super 8. Now Pakistan has to play 3 more matches in Super 8. During this time, Sahibzada Farhan will have a chance to break a world record of Virat Kohli.
Second Pakistani to score T20 World Cup century
Pakistan’s opener Sahibzada Farhan has so far scored a total of 220 runs in four matches of T20 World Cup 2026, in which he has scored one century and one half-century. Sahibzada Farhan has become the second Pakistani batsman to score a century in the T20 World Cup. Before him, Ahmed Shehzad had scored against Bangladesh in the 2014 T20 World Cup. Farhan is also the highest run-scorer batsman in this T20 World Cup. Apart from him, no other batsman has been able to touch the figure of 200 runs. With this, Sahibzada Farhan is very close to breaking the record of scoring the most runs in a single edition of the T20 World Cup.
Virat Kohli’s world record in danger
Currently, India’s veteran player Virat Kohli is the highest run-scorer batsman in an edition of T20 World Cup. Virat had scored the highest score of 319 runs in the 2014 T20 World Cup. Farhan is now ready to leave Kohli behind in this list. Sahibzada Farhan needs 100 runs to break this record. If Farhan continues his good performance in Super 8, he can not only leave Virat behind but can also become the first batsman to score 320+ runs in a single edition.
Sahibzada Farhan will face these teams in Super-8
Pakistan team has reached the Super 8 of T20 World Cup 2026, where Sahibzada Farhan will get a chance to play a total of 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. Talking 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.
