Although Pakistan suffered a humiliating eight-wicket defeat in the third and final T20I on October 13, Farhan smashed a stunning half-century.
Sahibzada Farhan began the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka with a superb 89 off just 53 balls in the opening match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. He continued his impressive run by scoring 73 in the second T20I and 76 in the third match.
New Zealand’s Colin Munro is at the third position on the list with 223 runs against the West Indies in 2017-18. Australia’s David Warner follows with 217 runs against Sri Lanka in 2019, while Afghanistan’s Hazratullah Zazai and India’s Shreyas Iyer both scored 204 runs in their respective three-match series.

Apart from breaking Abhishek Sharma’s record, Sahibzada Farhan achieved another special milestone. The Pakistan captain’s three consecutive half-centuries helped him enter an exclusive list featuring former Indian captain Virat Kohli.
Kohli was the first player to achieve this special feat when he scored three consecutive half-centuries against Australia in January 2016. He finished that series with 199 runs.

Meanwhile, Farhan said that scoring runs gives him more confidence and motivates him to perform even better in the next match. He also praised Randhawa for his bowling with the new ball and hailed Naseem Shah’s performance after the final T20I against Sri Lanka.
Farhan said at the post-match presentation, “When I perform well, I'm even more focused on doing well in the next match. It's cricket; you're not always in form. So, I'm looking to make the most of it. Happy as a captain.”
