The AK-47 celebration sparked outrage. Five months later, Sahibzada Farhan broke Virat Kohli’s T20 World Cup record

5 min readMumbaiUpdated: Feb 28, 2026 10:55 PM IST Sahibzada Farhan leapt in the air, pumped his fist, let out a roar. One hundred off 59 balls, against Sri Lanka, when Pakistan needed not just victory but demolition. The bat he’d held like a rifle five months ago–the gesture that brought politicians into press conferences and got the ICC issuing warnings–now pointed skyward. Just a bat. Just a celebration. “I don’t know how people will take it,” he told reporters after that match in Dubai. “I don’t care about that.” At Pallekele tonight, the 29-year-old from Charsadda broke Virat Kohli’s record for most runs in a single T20 World Cup edition. Kohli had scored 320 runs in 2014. Farhan crossed it in the sixth over with a boundary off Dasun Shanaka. By the nineteenth over, he had his second World Cup hundred, cementing his place as the tournament’s leading scorer. He has been Pakistan’s one consistent performer in a campaign of dropped catches, failed chases, and frantic net run rate calculations. The journey to Pallekele …

Hijacked, a real-life story about being taken hostage by Somali pirates, begins rather unexpectedly with the author, Pralav Dhyani’s failed education stint in Canada. After he returned to India with no degree and no plan, his father enrolled him in the merchant navy, hoping it would have a positive influence. A true brat, the young man enrols with his PlayStation, speakers and a small TV in tow. His self-centred ways continue until he is reprimanded by the captain, a major turning point in his life. Dhyani writes with disarming honesty about his early failures followed by waves of remorse and self-awareness. A military patrol ship on the high seas.

They take it to Somalia where it is stripped of valuables. An interpreter is then sent to negotiate with the captain for the crew’s lives. The starving pirates aren’t in a great …

In the Haryana dressing room, Anshul Kamboj goes by the nickname ‘AK 47’. During the Ranji season, his teammates would often chant ‘AK47’ as he ran in to bowl and there is a small story behind that. “When they asked for a number, everyone was picking their birth date or a lucky number. But I was looking for something unique that will match by name. So I picked 47 because it is also rhyming well…now everyone calls me that,” the seamer had once told The Indian Express. In 2024, he picked all ten wickets in an innings against Kerala, and has been growing from strength to strength since. This year he has starred for Chennai Super Kings and has earned praise from Dhoni and Fleming.
