Sahibzada Farhan hit Jasprit Bumrah for two big sixes in the India vs Pakistan match of the Asia Cup 2025. The right-handed batter didn’t hesitate in going after the best fast bowler in the world, and his approach paid off as the ball landed in the stands on two occasions.

The second maximum in the sixth over of Pakistan’s innings stunned Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav.

Meanwhile, the Men in Green didn’t have a good start as Saim Ayub was dismissed by Hardik Pandya. The opening batter failed to open his account. The second fell in the form of Mohammad Haris, who was undone by Bumrah.

Axar Patel gave the rival team a third setback when he sent back Fakhar Zaman to the dressing room. The left-handed batter managed 17 runs off 15 balls, including 3 fours.

Pakistan captain Salman Agha won the toss and decided to bat first.
