Sahibzada Farhan Sets Records in Pakistan's T20I Series Win Over Sri Lanka
Sahibzada Farhan made history as Pakistan's T20I captain by scoring half-centuries in all three matches of a bilateral series against Sri Lanka, becoming the first captain worldwide to achieve this feat. Leading Pakistan to a 2-1 series win, Farhan amassed 238 runs, breaking Abhishek Sharma's record for most runs by a player from a full-member nation in a three-match T20I series. Despite a middle-order collapse in the final match, his consistent performance placed him among elite players like Virat Kohli.
