Sahibzada Farhan delivered a historic performance for Islamabad United with a brilliant century against Peshawar Zalmi in Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10, becoming the first Pakistani batter to score four T20 centuries in a calendar year.
The 28-year-old opener scored 106 off just 52 balls, hitting 13 fours and five sixes, and reached the milestone in only nine innings — a feat matched by just four others in T20 cricket history.
Farhan now stands alongside Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill in this elite club.

Munro contributed 40 from 27 balls, including six boundaries and a six, providing steady support to Farhan’s dominant display.
Both batters were dismissed in the 13th over, but the strong foundation allowed the middle order to maintain the momentum.
