In a year filled with T20 cricket, where big names and power-hitters have shone, a player from Pakistan—overlooked internationally—is leading the way. Sahibzada Farhan has not only found his form in 2025 but has also rewritten his cricketing story with a year that could define his career.
With 789 runs in just 10 innings, averaging 98.62 and a strike rate of 183.48, Sahibzada Farhan has scored more T20 runs than any other player in the world.
This success didn’t come out of nowhere. Farhan has always had the skills but lacked a little polish. What he’s done in 2025, especially in the Pakistan Super League with Islamabad United, has showcased his talent and explosiveness. His impressive run began in the National T20 Cup, during which he broke several national records, earning him a place in Islamabad United’s PSL 2025 squad. He grasped the opportunity with both hands, leading the PSL scoring charts and being a key reason his team sits at 4-0 this year.
Most Runs in T20 Cricket – 2025 (as of latest update)
| Player | Innings | Runs | Average | Strike Rate | Sixes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sahibzada Farhan | 10 | 789 | 98.62 | 183.48 | 50 |
| Nicholas Pooran | 18 | 669 | 44.60 | 182.28 | 48 |
| Aiden Markram | 21 | 614 | 36.11 | 138.28 | 22 |
| Alex Hales | 17 | 612 | 47.07 | 145.71 | 31 |
| Shai Hope | 17 | 571 | 40.78 | 120.97 | 17 |
Farhan’s rise is even more impressive considering his journey. Despite debuting for Pakistan in 2018, he struggled to secure a spot on the national team, making sporadic appearances. However, after his record-breaking year, he has left the PCB no choice but to recall him for the national team.
In a format often dominated by big names, Sahibzada Farhan shows that hard work and domestic performance can still shine through. Ten innings. Nearly 800 runs. Fifty sixes. A scorching strike rate. And all of this without the spotlight he deserves—until now.
2025 is undoubtedly the year of Sahibzada Farhan.
