Most runs for Pakistan in T20 World Cup edition is no longer a settled debate. Sahibzada Farhan has surged within touching distance of Babar Azam’s tally, and the chatter around Pakistan’s dressing room is growing louder.
Sahibzada Farhan is edging closer to a landmark that once looked untouchable. In the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026, the right-hander has stacked up 283 runs in just five innings, putting him within striking range of Babar Azam’s 303-run mark from 2021.
Farhan’s surge has reshaped the Pakistan batting records conversation. He has not crawled to those runs. He has driven, pulled and lofted with clarity.
Babar’s number still sits at the top of the chart for most runs for Pakistan in a single edition. Yet Farhan’s current run in the T20 World Cup 2026 has tightened the race. One solid knock, and the column under Pakistan batting records could change.
Inside the camp, the team believes Farhan can outpace the rest and lead Pakistan’s batting order. Pakistan’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign is still alive, but their chances of reaching the semi-finals remain slim, as qualification now depends on other teams.
