Sahibzada Farhan Smashes T20I World Record with 238 Runs Against Sri Lanka

Pakistan captain Sahibzada Farhan has set a new world record for the most runs in a three-match T20I series, piling up 238 against Sri Lanka to eclipse Abhishek Sharma's previous mark of 229 against Afghanistan.

The opener's consistency was remarkable — he passed fifty in all three matches of the series, becoming the first captain in T20I history to score a half-century in every game of a three-match bilateral series.

Leading from the front while carrying the batting, Farhan's run-fest has cemented his place among the most prolific T20 openers in the modern game.

Record broken

Abhishek Sharma's 229 had stood as the benchmark, but Farhan went nine runs better across the three outings — a measure of both form and temperament at the top of the order.
