The India vs. Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 fixture is underway, and a lot of tense moments have already occurred. Pakistan, led by skipper Salman Agha, won the toss and selected to bat first at the Dubai International Stadium. While India struck with early wickets, Pakistan has managed to claw back for a while in the later half, with Sahibzada Farhan hitting Jasprit Bumrah for two sixes in the game, ESPN Cricinfo reported.
Bumrah worked his magic for India early on in the game, dismissing Mohammad Haris. When faced with Farhan in the 4th over, he bowled two dot balls. On the third delivery, Farhan moved forward and slammed the ball for a six over long-on. The rest of the over passed without incident.
In the 6th over, Sahibzada Farhan once again hit Bumrah for a six, Circinfo reported. This one went over backward square leg, leaving even Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav stunned.
Many fans on X (formerly Twitter) were impressed by the display. “Sahibzada Farhan treated bumrah like a club level bowler,” one user wrote on X.
Another commented, “Farhan you have passed all of my eye tests brother we have been mocking you for not being good against pace but you smashed bumrah for 2 sixes eventhough you are not that good against pace that’s some class man.”
