15 Apr
Summary
- Sahibzada Farhan is the only batsman to hit Jasprit Bumrah for three sixes in T20Is.
- Facing Bumrah gave Farhan confidence to tackle other Indian bowlers.
- Farhan was the leading run-scorer in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Sahibzada Farhan, Pakistan's T20I opener, has shared his remarkable experience facing India's premier bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, during the Asia Cup 2025. Farhan distinguished himself as the sole batsman to hit Bumrah for three sixes in a T20 International match, accumulating 51 runs off 34 balls against the Indian pacer.
Farhan stated that successfully confronting Bumrah significantly enhanced his confidence to face other Indian bowlers. He described the initial challenge of bowling variations from Bumrah but noted that overcoming this phase made subsequent bowlers seem more manageable. Despite his strong performance, India secured the Asia Cup 2025 title.
In a separate tournament, Farhan topped the scoring charts in the T20 World Cup 2026, amassing 383 runs across six matches. However, he did not encounter Bumrah in that event, being dismissed by Hardik Pandya early in a match against India.
