Sahibzada Farhan breaks Abhishek Sharma’s record for most runs in a three-match T20I series

Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan broke the world record for the most runs scored in a three-match T20I series. Farhan accumulated 238 runs across three matches against Sri Lanka, surpassing Indian batter Abhishek Sharma's previous benchmark of 229 runs. Farhan clinched the record during the final T20I at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on October 13, 2026, scoring 76 off 47 balls.

Farhan posted three consecutive half-centuries in the series, having scored 89 in the opening game and 73 in the second. Despite Farhan's innings in the third match, Sri Lanka chased down 169 to win by 8 wickets behind Kusal Mendis's unbeaten 87. Pakistan won the series 2-1, and Farhan was named Player of the Tournament in his first T20I series as captain.
