Sunday’s T20 World Cup showdown in Colombo witnessed Tilak Varma’s ascent to cricketing prominence. The Indian left-hander’s 25 off 24 balls, inclusive of one towering six and two crisp fours, landed him third on the prestigious list of most sixes in India versus Pakistan T20s.
Varma’s record against Pakistan since 2025 reads impressively: four matches, 155 runs at 77.50 average, boasting eight sixes and nine fours – pure entertainment in limited-overs cricket.
King Kohli tops the leaderboard with unmatched poise, scoring 492 runs in 11 games from 2012-2024 at 70.28, peppered with 11 sixes and 49 fours.
Second place is a duel between Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan (nine sixes, 155 runs in four matches at 38.75, 11 fours) and Yuvraj Singh (nine sixes, 10 fours in eight games).
Abhishek Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Mohammad Rizwan share fourth with seven each, and Shaheen Afridi sits fifth with six.
India set a challenging 175/7, driven by Ishan Kishan’s masterful 77 from 40 balls and skipper Suryakumar Yadav’s 25. Pakistan managed only 114 in 18 overs, with Usman Khan’s 44 the bright spot alongside Afridi’s 23.
Tilak’s milestone not only boosted India’s victory but also enriched the tapestry of Indo-Pak T20 lore with fresh legends.
