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.
