Sahibzada Farhan breaks Abhishek Sharma’s record, joins Virat Kohli on elite list

Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan made history in the T20I series against Sri Lanka, becoming the first Pakistani batter—and just the eighth player overall—to score half-centuries in all three matches of a bilateral series. His unbeaten 89, 73, and 76 across the three games totaled 238 runs, surpassing Indian opener Abhishek Sharma’s previous record of 229 in a three-match T20I series.

Farhan’s consistency also earned him a place alongside former Indian captain Virat Kohli, who was the first to achieve three consecutive half-centuries in a T20I series back in 2016. Despite Pakistan’s 8-wicket loss in the final match, Farhan’s series stood out as a standout individual performance, cementing his reputation as a key player in Pakistan’s T20I lineup under his captaincy.
