DUBAI: Pakistan opener batter Sahibzada Farhan registered a unique milestone as he became the only batter to hit Jasprit Bumrah for three sixes in the T20Is during the ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025 final.
Farhan, who became the first Pakistani batter to hit a six off Jasprit Bumrah in international cricket, has now become the only batter overall to hit three sixes off the pacer in T20Is.
Earlier, he showcased his batting prowess over Bumrah during the group-stage match of the Asia Cup 2025, held on September 14, where he cleared the boundary twice.
The first six was hit on the third delivery of the fourth over when Farhan skillfully judged a good-length delivery from Bumrah that was angling in, sending it soaring over the long-on boundary.
He struck again on the third delivery of Bumrah’s next over, launching a short-pitched delivery that was also angling in over backward square.
In the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 final, Farhan continued his assault on Bumrah, hitting one six and a four.
He started cautiously, facing two dot balls and then running for a couple of singles before lofting a boundary over cover.
When Bumrah bowled his next over, Farhan crunched with another four over midwicket, followed by a massive six over mid-off, ultimately scoring 12 runs off Bumrah in that over.
He eventually departed after scoring 57 from 38 balls, smashing three sixes and five fours.
