Pakistan Captain Creates History With Record-Breaking T20I Knock

Pakistan may have fallen short in the third T20I against Sri Lanka in Dambulla, but captain Salman Ali Agha delivered a sensational performance that etched his name into the record books.

Chasing a challenging target of 198 runs, Pakistan lost the match by 14 runs, resulting in a 1–1 series draw. Despite the defeat, Agha’s explosive innings stole the spotlight as he smashed 45 runs off just 12 balls, registering an astonishing strike rate of 375.0.

Historic Record for T20I Captains

This strike rate is now the highest ever recorded by a captain in a T20I innings (minimum 10 balls faced, matches between full-member teams). With this feat, Salman Ali Agha surpassed former West Indies star Kieron Pollard, who previously held the record.

Primarily known as an off-spin all-rounder, Agha showcased his batting firepower in the death overs, hammering five fours and three sixes in a breathtaking cameo that nearly pulled off an unlikely chase.

A Leader Growing With the Bat

As Pakistan builds toward the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, this innings is being seen as a strong indicator of Agha’s evolution into a dynamic, impact-driven leader. His ability to contribute decisively with the bat adds a new dimension to Pakistan’s T20 setup.
