Sahibzada Farhan Breaks Virat Kohli's T20 World Cup Runs Record in 2026 Edition

Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan broke Virat Kohli's 12-year-old record for the most runs in a single T20 World Cup edition during the 2026 tournament. Farhan surpassed Kohli's 319-run tally from 2014 in a Super 8 match against Sri Lanka at Pallekele, scoring over 320 runs in six innings. He also became the first player to score two centuries in a single T20 World Cup edition, joining Chris Gayle as the only player with multiple World Cup tons. Despite Farhan's performances, Pakistan faced a must-win situation to qualify for the semifinals.
