Sahibzada Farhan reached a major career milestone during Pakistan’s five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. His performance earned him a spot in the elite T20 run-scorers list alongside Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shan Masood.
Opening the batting, Sahibzada Farhan scored 24 runs off 15 balls, helping Pakistan gain a strong start. This achievement marks him as only the fourth Pakistani batter to score 1,500 T20 runs in a calendar year. He reached the milestone in his 35th innings of 2025.
Farhan has had a remarkable year, playing for Pakistan, Peshawar Region, and Islamabad United. In 2025, he scored 1,502 runs with a batting average of 45.51 and a strike rate of 156.62. His record includes six centuries, nine fifties, 90 sixes, and 135 fours.
His consistent performance has earned him a recall to Pakistan’s national team. He is now a key opener alongside Fakhar Zaman or Saim Ayub. Analysts say his rise strengthens Pakistan’s batting lineup and adds depth to the team.
The 1,500-run club also includes Babar Azam, who achieved the feat in 2019, 2021, and 2024; Rizwan, in 2021 and 2022; and Shan Masood, in 2022. Farhan’s inclusion highlights Pakistan’s growing pool of reliable T20 batters ready to perform at the highest level.
Sahibzada Farhan’s milestone demonstrates his importance in Pakistan’s short-format cricket. His performance in 2025 shows that he is now a mainstay in the national squad and a key contributor to the team’s success in T20 competitions.
With his entry into this elite club, Farhan cements his place among Pakistan’s most prolific and consistent T20 players, inspiring young cricketers across the country.
