Sahibzada Farhan Enters Elite T20 Club with Four Centuries in 2025
Islamabad United’s Sahibzada Farhan has etched his name in the history books by becoming the first Pakistani batter to score four T20 centuries in a calendar year, joining global cricket icons like Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill.
A Record-Breaking Knock in PSL 10
The milestone came during HBL PSL 10 on Monday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, where Farhan smashed a scintillating 49-ball century against Peshawar Zalmi—his first ever in the PSL.
Despite a shaky start that saw opener Andries Gous dismissed for a duck at 9/1, Farhan teamed up with Colin Munro to steady the innings with a blistering 100-run stand, taking United to 128/1 by the 11th over.
