T20 WC: Sahibzada Farhan Breaks Kohli's Record, Registers Most Runs In A Single Edition
ICC T20 World Cup: Pakistan's opener Sahibzada Farhan has etched his name in the history books as he continued his sensational run in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 on Saturday by surpassing Virat Kohli’s record for the most runs scored in a single edition of the tournament.
Farhan achieved the milestone during Pakistan’s must-win Group 2 Super 8s clash against Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Stadium. Heading into the contest, the 29-year-old required 37 runs to go past Kohli’s tally of 319 runs, a record that had stood since the 2014 edition of the tournament.
The landmark moment came early in Pakistan’s innings. Facing pacer Dushmantha Chameera, Farhan attacked from the start, striking a six and a four to close in on the record. He eventually drew level with Kohli’s mark with a single on the final ball of the fifth over. He achieved the feat by driving a boundary off Dasun Shanaka at the start of the sixth over.
