Sahibzada Farhan hit a huge six against ace India spinner Kuldeep Yadav. The Pakistan opener played a well-controlled fifty-plus runs in the final of the 2025 Asia Cup against India at Dubai International Stadium. 

Before losing the scalp against Varun Chakravarthy, Farhan scored 57 against 38 balls. His innings was laced with five boundaries and three over-boundaries. One of the three over-boundaries was against Yadav; during the last ball of the 7th ball of the first innings, the right-handed batter hoisted the ball for a maximum.

India skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bowl first. Usually, the surface of the Dubai International Stadium is suitable for a run chase in the second innings. And India, throughout the Asia Cup 2025, performed brilliantly while batting in the second innings.

Farhan's massive 6 vs Kuldeep Yadav 

When India and Pakistan met twice before in the tournament, Men in Blue won those matches with ease. But a final is always a different caliber contest, where anything can reflect on the scorecard. 

Proving many critics wrong, Pakistan started the first innings in an intense manner. For today's match, Farhan and Fakhar Zaman came to open the innings, and they scored 84 runs together in the first wicket. Both the batters played in attacking mode after watching the first few overs. During the last over of the 7th of the first innings, Farhan went deep into the crease and clubbed the ball over the deep square leg for a big six. 11 runs came from that over. Yadav pitched the middle in the middle of the pitch, a little bit short and towards the leg stump. The batter got plenty of time to adjust and made a charge on the ball.
