In a year brimming with headlines and breakout performances, Sahibzada Farhan has etched his name into the record books with a historic achievement that underlines both his consistency and transformation as a T20 force.
The 29-year-old top-order batter repaid Islamabad United’s faith in him with a sublime ton in just his second game of PSL X. His century was not only United’s first of this season but also makes him the first Pakistani player ever to score four T20 hundreds in a calendar year — a milestone that puts him alongside some of the global elite in the shortest format of the game. Only Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have achieved this stat line ever in the history of T20 cricket.
The landmark was sealed in a typically aggressive knock that showcased Sahibzada Farhan’s evolved temperament, power game, and ability to construct an aggressive innings. Using favorable conditions to his full advantage, the opener struck 13 fours and 5 sixes for his 106 off 52 balls. While he earned praise for his innings, the broader narrative is clear: 2025 is fast becoming the year of Sahibzada Farhan.
Farhan’s journey to this rare feat has been anything but ordinary. Long on the fringes of Pakistan’s national setup, the right-hander has sharpened his T20 game through sheer volume of runs in the domestic circuit. His most recent hundred adds to a string of commanding performances this year — each built on clean ball-striking, calculated aggression, and technical maturity against both pace and spin.
His previous three T20 centuries in 2025 came in the National T20 Cup, which already helped him enter the record books. His latest innings is a testament to his ever-present talent shining once again.
The milestone will certainly give national selectors more food for thought ahead of Pakistan’s T20I assignments later this year, including the highly anticipated Asia Cup and preparations for the T20 World Cup in 2026. Sahibzada Farhan’s name, once on the periphery, is now firmly in contention — backed by a statistical case that’s impossible to ignore.
Sahibzada Farhan is not just a man in form — he is a batter in full bloom. And 2025, as it stands, belongs to him.
