24 Feb
Summary
- Sahibzada Farhan confident facing Jofra Archer, having faced similar pace.
- Farhan is nearing Virat Kohli's T20 World Cup record of 320 runs.
- The opener prioritizes team success over individual statistics.
Sahibzada Farhan, Pakistan's opening batsman, expressed confidence in facing England's Jofra Archer in their upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 match. He downplayed the threat posed by Archer, stating that the team is accustomed to facing fast bowlers and has developed strategies to counter him.
Farhan is also on the verge of breaking Virat Kohli's record for the most runs scored in a single T20 World Cup tournament. With 320 runs set in the 2014 edition, Farhan needs just 100 more runs to surpass the milestone. Despite this proximity to a significant record, Farhan reiterated his focus on team objectives rather than personal achievements.
He acknowledged that while records are made to be broken, his primary goal is to contribute to Pakistan's success and make a name for the team. Farhan highlighted that T20 cricket requires taking risks, and he aims to perform at his best for Pakistan.
