Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhan has etched his name in T20 cricket history by surpassing a long standing record previously held by Indian star Virat Kohli.The milestone came during Pakistan’s clash against Sri Lanka in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

With a commanding performance, Farhan took his tally beyond 320 runs in a single edition of the tournament, overtaking Kohli’s record of 319 runs set during the ICC World Twenty20. Kohli’s achievement had stood unchallenged for more than a decade and was regarded as one of the toughest batting records in T20 World Cup history.

Farhan’s consistency throughout the tournament has been remarkable. Combining aggression with composure, he has anchored Pakistan’s innings while maintaining an impressive strike rate. Cricket analysts believe the record underlines his growing importance in Pakistan’s T20 setup and highlights his ability to perform under pressure.

The achievement has sparked celebration among fans on social media, who see it as a significant boost for Pakistan cricket. With matches still to come, Farhan now has the opportunity to extend his record further and set a benchmark that could stand for years.
