[WATCH] Sahibzada Farhan claps and smiles to obscene remarks on Jasprit Bumrah during PAK vs SA Lahore T20I
Watch the video where the opening batter of the Pakistan side, Sahibzada Farhan, was seen in clapping and smiling to obscene remarks on India's Jasprit Bumrah during the third T20I between Pakistan and South Africa in Lahore.
The T20I opening batter of the Pakistan side, Sahibzada Farhan, was caught smiling and clapping after he heard obscene remarks on India’s premier pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, during the third T20I of the three-match series against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. He shared a fierce battle with the pacer during the recently concluded Asia Cup 2025.
Farhan became the first and only batter to nail the Ahmedabad-born pacer for three sixes in a T20I. Across the match-up, the right-handed batter has taken India's Bumrah to the cleaners for 51 runs in 34 balls, including six boundaries and three over boundaries. The opener was also the first batter of the Pakistan side to hit a six off Bumrah in international cricket.

A video has gone viral on social media platforms, showing Farhan enjoying the explicit chants by one of the home fans against Bumrah. The fans were chanting ‘Bumrah ke abbu (Bumrah’s father), putting the camera towards the pacer, and it appeared that the opener was clearly enjoying the derogatory comments.

The third and final T20I between Pakistan and South Africa was the series decider in Lahore after the visitors won the opening game comfortably before the hosts made a strong comeback in the second clash. The Rainbow Nation, however, continued their poor show with the bat even in the third fixture.
South Africa lost both Quinton de Kock and Lhuan-dre-Pretorious for ducks in three balls of the opening batter. Reeza Hendricks slammed 34 runs but at a strike rate of below 100 with the help of two boundaries. Their captain provided the fire in the middle order with 29 runs in 14 balls at a strike rate of 207.14, smashing three over boundaries and one four. Corbin Bosch remained undefeated on 30 runs to push them to 139/9.
Babar Azam was the main batter in the middle during the chase for Pakistan as he creamed a fine knock of 68 runs in 47 balls at a strike rate of 144.68, while Salman Agha nailed 33 runs to complete the chase by four wickets to seal the series by 2-1.
