Pakistani batter Sahibzada Farhan is once again in the spotlight, this time for achieving a remarkable milestone in T20 cricket. During a recent Pakistan Super League match, Farhan delivered an unbeaten innings of 106 runs off just 57 balls while representing the Multan Sultans. This century helped him draw level with Virat Kohli in terms of the number of T20 hundreds.
