ICC Men's T20 World Cup: Sahibzada Farhan emerges as leading run-scorer

Pakistan’s attacking opener Sahibzada Farhan has become the leading run-scorer at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.

In a key fixture in Colombo, Pakistan set Namibia a target of 200 runs, courtesy of Farhan’s magnificent century.

The right-hander produced an unbeaten 100 from 58 deliveries, striking four sixes and 11 fours in a commanding display.

With that knock, Farhan moved to the top of the tournament’s run charts. He has amassed 220 runs in four innings so far — the highest tally in the competition. 

South Africa’s Aiden Markram sits second on the list with 178 runs from four matches.

Farhan also leads the six-hitting charts at the tournament, having struck 11 sixes in four innings. India’s Ishan Kishan follows closely with 10 sixes in four matches.
