Sahibzada Farhan has climbed to the top of the six-hitting charts in T20 cricket for 2026, smashing 149 sixes so far this year and establishing himself as one of the most destructive batters in the format.
The Multan Sultans opener reached the milestone during Pakistan Super League 2026 with another impactful performance against RawalPindiz.
Chasing 183, Multan lost Steve Smith early, but Farhan anchored the innings with an aggressive 68 off 38 balls at a strike rate close to 179. His knock included five sixes and four boundaries, helping Multan comfortably chase down the target in 16.2 overs.
Farhan now leads the global six-hitting chart for 2026, ahead of some of the biggest names in T20 cricket:
- 149 – Sahibzada Farhan (Pakistan)
- 144 – Dewald Brevis
- 136 – Abhishek Sharma
- 133 – Finn Allen
- 130 – Nicholas Pooran
His dominance in 2026 has not been limited to franchise cricket. During the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka, Farhan delivered a record-breaking campaign, surpassing Virat Kohli’s record for most runs in a single edition and becoming the first player to score two centuries in one tournament.
With consistent performances across formats and tournaments, Farhan’s rise reflects a peak year in his career and highlights his growing importance for both Multan Sultans and Pakistan in T20 cricket.
