He now stands ahead of South Africa’s Aiden Markram, who occupies second place with 178 runs from four matches.
Farhan has also emerged as the leading six-hitter of the competition.
His 11 maximums in four innings put him narrowly ahead of India’s Ishan Kishan, who has struck 10 sixes in as many matches.
With consistency and power-hitting defining his campaign, the in-form opener has positioned himself as one of the standout performers of the T20 World Cup 2026.
