Currently, the highest run scorer in T20 World Cup 2026 is Sahibzada Farhan, who has scored 220 runs in 4 matches. His eyes are on Virat Kohli’s world record, which was made by the Indian batsman in 2014. Pakistan has reached the Super-8 of the ongoing edition, which means their 3 matches are confirmed.

Sahibzada Farhan has scored 320 runs in 4 matches in T20 World Cup 2026. Farhan now has at least 3 innings in the World Cup, in which he has to score a total of 100 runs to break Kohli’s record. If his team reaches the semi-finals or finals, his chances will increase even more.
