History made as Farhan breaks Kohli's record, matches Gayle

Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan completed his ICC Men's T20 World Cup campaign by breaking Virat Kohli's record for the most runs in any single edition of the tournament.

Farhan scored his second century of the T20 World Cup when he compiled a brilliant hundred against Sri Lanka in Pallekele on Saturday, with the right-hander finishing the tournament with a whopping 383 runs at an average of 76.60 to surpass the previous best of 319 runs from Kohli at the 2014 edition.

The Pakistan opener also became just the second player in the history of the T20 World Cup to have scored multiple centuries at the tournament, with both of Farhan's tons coming during this ongoing edition.

Flamboyant opener Chris Gayle also managed two centuries at the T20 World Cup, but the West indies great scored his at two different tournaments (2007 and 2016), meaning Farhan is the first batter to achieve the rare feat at the same event.

Despite Farhan's efforts across the tournament, Pakistan failed to reach the knockout stages for the second consecutive T20 World Cup.

You have to go back to 2022 to find the last time Pakistan made it through to the semi-finals when they finished as the runners up behind England and skipper Salman Ali Agha admitted the side needed to improve their decision making when placed under pressure.

"The reason is that we have to increase our game playing under pressure," Ali Agha said after the victory over Sri Lanka.

"And when the pressure increases, how to improve our decision making.

"I think that matters more right now. Because whenever there is pressure, I think our decision making is not as good as it should be.

"When you come to the World Cup or ICC events, there is always pressure.

"If your decision making is not good under that pressure, then the result will be like this."
