Pakistan top order batsman Sahibzada Farhan confirmed he has worked extensively to improve his ability to hit sixes.
Farhan’s improved six-hitting capabilities were evident during the 2025 Asia Cup as he had the joint third-highest number of sixes with 11.
Overall, the 29-year-old from Charsadda ended the tournament as Pakistan’s highest run-scorer with 217 runs, which included two fifties, at an average of 31 and a strike-rate of 116.04.
“I worked a lot on my six-hitting,” Farhan was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
Pakistan are now facing South Africa and began by drawing the two-Test series 1-1.
The two teams are now involved in a three-match T20I series, where the men in green trail 1-0 after losing the 1st T20I by 55 runs.
In that match, Farhan scored 24 runs.
After the T20Is conclude, Pakistan and South Africa will go up against each other in a three-match ODI series from November 4 to 8.
Subsequently, Pakistan will play Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series from November 11 to 15, before competing in a T20I tri-series alongside Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe from November 17 to 29.
