A few weeks ago, Zee Studios in Pakistan had produced a documentary on the Pakistan opening batter, Sahibzada Farhan, titled ‘Hero in the Making’, highlighting the Asia Cup 2025 performance of the right-handed batter, who became the very first batter of world cricket to smash a six in T20I cricket against the premier Indian pacer, Jasprit Bumrah.
The film places special emphasis on the three sixes against Bumrah. The 29-year-old smashed a fine knock of 57 runs during the final of the Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium before playing two more sensational knocks of 63 and an unbeaten 80 runs against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe later in the home T20I side.

Chopra claimed, “Bumrah ko chakka maarna aasan nhi h agar kuch log maar le toh documentary bhi bana lete h.”
