Sher E Punjab T20 Cup Stats 2026: Who Leads the Runs, Sixes and Wickets Race?

Sher E Punjab T20 Cup Stats 2026: Most Runs, Wickets, Sixes and Records

The Sher E Punjab T20 Cup Stats 2026 are already producing some eye-catching numbers. Anmolpreet Singh has raced to 141 runs from his first two innings, Vihaan Malhotra has scored the tournament’s first century, while five bowlers are currently level on three wickets.

But the raw numbers tell only part of the story.

The 2026 competition has started with huge totals, rapid strike rates and an unusual amount of boundary hitting. In the opening match alone, Amritsar Soormas made 258 before Mohali Kings chased the target with five wickets in hand.

This TeamStats.in tracker brings together the important Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026 stats — most runs, highest scores, most wickets, sixes, strike rates, team performances and developing records — in one easy place.

Fazilka Falcons vs Amritsar Soormas: Amritsar Scored 522 Runs and Still Haven’t Won

Last updated: Jalandhar Warriors vs Amritsar Soormas: 529-Run Thriller

The tournament is still in progress, so the leaderboards below will change as more matches are completed.

Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup 2026 Stats at a Glance

Anmolpreet’s start is particularly interesting. His 141 runs have come at a strike rate of 231.15, and he has already cleared the boundary 12 times.

Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup Most Runs 2026

Anmolpreet Singh currently sits at the top of the run-scoring list with 141 runs from two innings.

What makes that total stand out is not only the volume but the speed. His runs have come at a strike rate above 230.

Vihaan Malhotra is second after starting his tournament with an unbeaten century, while Ramandeep Singh has 93 runs from two innings.

Leading Run Scorers

The early leaderboard has an important warning attached to it: players have not all played the same number of innings yet.

So 141 runs gives Anmolpreet the lead, but the tournament is still far too young to treat the current order as a prediction of who will finish No.1.

Anmolpreet Singh Has Started at a Different Pace

Anmolpreet’s early numbers deserve a closer look.

He has:

141 runs

from only two innings

at an average of 70.50

and a strike rate of 231.15.

He has also struck 11 fours and 12 sixes.

That means 116 of his 141 runs have already come in boundaries:

11 fours = 44 runs

12 sixes = 72 runs

Total boundary runs = 116

So approximately 82.3% of Anmolpreet’s runs have come from fours and sixes.

That is the sort of number a normal leaderboard doesn’t immediately show.

He isn’t simply leading the run chart. He has built most of that lead without needing to run between the wickets.

Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup Highest Score 2026

The first century of the competition belongs to Vihaan Malhotra.

He scored an unbeaten 103 and did it at a strike rate of 198.08. His innings included 10 fours and five sixes.

Highest Scores So Far

The early century race is worth watching because the tournament has already shown that totals around 200 may not be unusual.

Anmolpreet’s 39-Ball Hundred Changed the Early Record Race

Anmolpreet Singh’s century was one of the first major individual stories of the tournament.

He reached his hundred from 39 balls, with his innings featuring heavy boundary scoring.

That performance came immediately after another explosive innings had grabbed attention in the tournament opener.

Abhishek Sharma had smashed 77 from only 26 deliveries.

The interesting part is how quickly the standard was established.

Within the opening stages of the tournament, spectators had already seen a 296-plus strike-rate innings and a 39-ball century.

That gives the 2026 competition a very different statistical profile from a tournament where 150–160 is regularly enough to win.

Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup Most Sixes 2026

If there is one leaderboard that could change quickly throughout this competition, it is the six-hitting chart.

Anmolpreet Singh currently leads with 12 sixes.

Most Sixes

Anmolpreet has an early five-six advantage over Abhishek Sharma, but Abhishek has played only one innings in the current dataset.

That makes this leaderboard much closer than the raw totals suggest.

Abhishek Sharma’s 77 Was Almost Entirely Boundaries

Abhishek Sharma’s first innings of the tournament was only 26 balls long.

He scored 77 runs at a strike rate of 296.15, hitting six fours and seven sixes.

There is a fascinating number hidden inside that innings.

Six fours produced 24 runs.

Seven sixes produced 42.

That’s 66 boundary runs out of 77, or roughly 85.7% of his total.

This is also a good example of why statistics should be checked rather than simply copied from reports: one published report incorrectly calculated seven sixes as 49 runs and therefore stated that 73 of his runs came from boundaries. Seven sixes are worth 42, so the correct boundary contribution is 66 runs.

That correction is important.

The innings was extraordinary without needing the number to be exaggerated.

Best Batting Strike Rates

Early strike-rate tables can be misleading because some players have faced very few deliveries.

For that reason, rather than presenting every short cameo as a tournament leader, it makes more sense to look at batters who have already produced meaningful scores.

Strike Rates of Leading Batters

Abhishek’s 296.15 is the standout figure here.

However, Anmolpreet’s number may be even more significant from a tournament perspective because he has combined a 231.15 strike rate with the highest run aggregate.

Scoring quickly is one thing.

Scoring quickly while also leading the tournament for runs is harder.

Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup Most Wickets 2026

There is no outright leader in the bowling race yet.

Five bowlers are currently tied on three wickets.

Leading Wicket-Takers

Cricbuzz’s current tournament data has all five level at the top.

The difference is opportunity.

Sumit Sharma, Gourav Choudhary and Navpreet Singh have reached three wickets in one match, while Tejpreet Singh and Ayush Goyal have needed two.

At this early stage, therefore, wickets per match may tell us more than the raw total.

A Tournament That Started With 520 Runs

The opening match immediately showed what kind of batting conditions the competition could produce.

Amritsar Soormas scored 258.

In many T20 matches, that would be comfortably enough.

It wasn’t.

Mohali Kings replied with 262/5 and won by five wickets. The two teams combined for 520 runs in the match.

That is an average of 260 runs per team.

It also means the required chase was above 13 runs per over.

Mohali still completed it.

That opening game alone is enough reason to watch the batting records carefully as the tournament develops.

First Three Completed Matches

The first three results also show that teams have already won in very different ways.

Fazilka Falcons chased 188 by reaching 192/2 in 17.4 overs, while Bathinda Royals chased Mohali’s 176/9 with seven wickets remaining.

Three matches, three successful chases.

That is an early trend worth monitoring.

If chasing teams continue to dominate, toss results and evening conditions could become an important part of the tournament’s statistical story.

Current Sher-E-Punjab T20 League Points Table

Because teams have played different numbers of games, the early standings need context.

Bathinda Royals and Fazilka Falcons both won their opening games. Mohali Kings have played twice, winning their opener against Amritsar before losing to Bathinda.

Early Standings

Bathinda’s net run rate of +1.585 puts them above Fazilka at +1.518 in the current standings, while Mohali sit at -0.644 after two games.

The table will move quickly once the remaining teams catch up in matches played.

Six Teams Are Competing in 2026

The current competition features six city-based franchises:

Fazilka Falcons

Amritsar Soormas

Bathinda Royals

Jalandhar Warriors

Ludhiana Lions

Mohali Kings

The tournament has attracted several notable Punjab cricketers, with names including Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Arshdeep Singh, Prabhsimran Singh, Ramandeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar associated with the six franchises.

This mix is important to the league’s purpose.

Established India and IPL players provide attention, but the competition also creates a stage for emerging Punjab players to produce performances against higher-level opposition.

That can make a strong Sher-E-Punjab season more valuable than the raw number of runs or wickets might suggest.

Is Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup the Same as Sher-E-Punjab T20 League?

This is where readers can easily get confused.

The Punjab Cricket Association previously ran the Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup. The first edition was held in 2023, followed by another edition in 2024. PCA’s official 2024 tournament brief described that edition as Season 2.

The current 2026 competition is officially presented as the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League, with a new city-based franchise structure. The official league website describes it as Punjab’s new professional T20 league organised by the Punjab Cricket Association.

This distinction matters for statistics.

Some Google results labelled “Sher E Punjab T20 Cup 2026 Stats” are displaying numbers such as Harnoor Singh’s 578 runs and Gurnoor Brar’s 22 wickets.

Those are from the earlier 2024 Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup, not the current 2026 tournament. Contemporary reporting from July 2024 confirms Harnoor finished that edition with 578 runs and Gurnoor Brar with 22 wickets.

So those numbers should not be mixed with the 2026 leaderboards.

What Happened in the Previous Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup?

The older competition still provides useful historical context.

BLV Blasters won the first two completed Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup editions in 2023 and 2024.

The 2024 season was particularly productive for batters.

Harnoor Singh/Pannu finished as the leading scorer with 578 runs from 12 innings, while Gurnoor Singh Brar led the bowling charts with 22 wickets.

2024 Statistical Leaders

The Tribune reported that the 2024 tournament produced 460 sixes and 868 boundaries overall, showing that aggressive batting was already a feature of the competition before its current franchise-based form.

2024 vs 2026: Why Direct Comparisons Need Care

There is a temptation to compare every new 2026 number directly with 2024.

But the competition has changed.

The previous Cup used different teams and a different squad structure. The current competition has six city franchises and a new professional-league identity.

So when we say Anmolpreet has 141 runs in 2026, that should be treated as a 2026 leaderboard, rather than added directly to historical Cup totals.

Once the season is complete, however, comparing the leading 2026 batter with Harnoor’s 578-run 2024 campaign will be very interesting.

Anmolpreet currently has 141.

The historical benchmark is 578.

He would need another 438 runs to move past 578.

There is far too much cricket remaining to make a prediction, but now we have a benchmark worth tracking.

Five Sher-E-Punjab Stats Worth Watching

As the 2026 tournament continues, five races should become especially interesting.

The run race: Anmolpreet Singh has the early lead at 141, but Vihaan Malhotra has already started with a century.

The sixes race: Anmolpreet leads with 12, while Abhishek Sharma already has seven from one innings.

The wicket race: five bowlers are tied on three wickets, meaning there is currently no clear leader.

The strike-rate race: Abhishek’s 296.15 is spectacular, but maintaining anything close to that number across multiple innings would be much harder.

The chase trend: each of the first three completed games was won by the team batting second.

These are more useful to follow than simply checking who sits first in a table after every match.

They tell us how the tournament itself is developing.
