After years of waiting in the wings, Sahibzada Farhan has finally made his mark in international cricket. The 29-year-old batter has emerged as a match-winner for Pakistan in 2025, with stellar performances that have made him indispensable to the national T20I side.
Match-Winning Knock Against West Indies

A Comeback Story Like No Other
Debuting in 2018 and playing only three T20Is before being dropped, Farhan was long seen as a domestic cricket standout. Now in 2025, he has turned that promise into international performance. His rise is not a stroke of luck—it’s a result of years of hard work and resilience.
A Vital Asset Ahead of ACC and ICC Tournaments
As Pakistan prepares for upcoming ACC and ICC events, Farhan’s form couldn’t have come at a better time. In a lineup often seeking consistency, his match-defining knocks offer both stability and explosiveness—a combination that makes him one of the most exciting talents in the game today.
The Road Ahead
If his current form continues, Sahibzada Farhan could be the catalyst Pakistan needs for a T20I resurgence. His journey from being sidelined to becoming the face of Pakistan’s T20 revolution is a testament to perseverance—and it looks like he’s just getting started.
