Sahibzada Farhan Makes History: Breaks Virat Kohli’s 12-Year-Old World Record, Scores Most Runs in T20 World Cup 2026
March 1, 2026
Pakistan’s star opener Sahibzada Farhan achieved a phenomenal feat in T20 World Cup 2026, shattering Indian legend Virat Kohli’s long-standing world record for most runs in a single edition. During crucial Super-8 clash vs Sri Lanka, Farhan reached 323 runs, surpassing Kohli’s 319 from 2014.
Record-Breaking Innings
Pallekele: Needing 38 runs, Farhan hit boundary to eclipse mark no batter touched in 12 years. Scored century off 60 balls, powering Pakistan to 212/8. SL fought to 207/6; Pak won by slim 5 runs despite needing 65-run margin for semis (NRR tiebreaker lost to NZ).
Tournament Impact
Win irrelevant—NZ advances via better NRR. Farhan leapfrogs Dilshan, Babar, Jayawardene on single-WC list.
Asia dominates T20WC marks; Farhan’s knock inspires youth despite Pak exit. Unbreakable seemed Kohli’s 2014 record—now etched in history.
