Dubai [UAE], September 28 (ANI): Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan became the first batter to hammer three sixes off India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in T20Is following his rollicking exploits in the Asia Cup final in Dubai on Sunday.
In the second over, Farhan picked up Bumrah's slower one and thumped it over long-off for a towering maximum to pick up his third six off the Indian speedster to achieve the feat. Farhan boasts a flawless record against Bumrah, hammering 51 runs off 34 deliveries, striking at 150 with six fours and three maximums.
Farhan set the tone with his swashbuckling 57(38), but perished against Varun Chakaravarthy's mystery spin. He attempted to clear the boundary rope but hammered it flat and straight to Tilak Varma stationed at deep mid-wicket. Saim Ayub arriv
