Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja believes batsman Sahibzada Farhan is scoring big runs as he has no fear of failure.
Farhan was a force to be reckoned with at the domestic level, which ultimately resulted in his return to international cricket.
During the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh in Lahore, he scored 75 runs in two games, which included a career-best knock of 74, at an average of 37.50 and a strike-rate of 166.66.
He then toured Bangladesh with the men in green and smashed 63 runs in the one game he played.
As for the three-match T20I series against the West Indies, Farhan accumulated 91 runs, which included a top score of 74, at an average of 30.33 and a strike-rate of 126.38.
Most recently, the 29-year-old was in action in the T20I tri-series against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Afghanistan.
In the five matches he played, the Charsadda native made 63 runs at an average of 12.60 and a strike-rate of 150.
“The reason he was able to perform this way was because he was not burdened by the fear of failure,” Ramiz said on his YouTube channel as quoted by A Sports.
Pakistan are now taking part in the 2025 Asia Cup, which is being held in the UAE.
Their first match will be against Oman on September 12 in Dubai.
