IND Vs PAK Asia Cup 2025 Final: Sahibzada Farhan Joins AB de Villiers & Virat Kohli In Elite List For Most Sixes Off Jasprit Bumrah
Mumbai, September 28: The India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 final witnessed a historic moment when Sahibzada Farhan etched his name into an elite list alongside legends like AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli. Farhan became the first batsman in T20 internationals to hit three sixes off Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, achieving this remarkable feat during the high-voltage Asia Cup 2025 final clash.
### Sahibzada Farhan Creates History
Facing India’s most reliable death bowler, Farhan showed fearless intent against Jasprit Bumrah, who is renowned for his lethal yorkers and pinpoint accuracy. Bumrah has dominated world cricket with 94 wickets in 74 T20Is at an economy rate of just 6.34. Despite this, the Pakistan opener managed to clear the ropes three times against him in the Asia Cup 2025.
Farhan hit two sixes off Bumrah during the Super 4 clash and struck the final six in the tournament during the finals. With this, he became the first batsman in T20I history to smash three sixes off Bumrah, joining a small but illustrious club of cricketers who have managed to hit him for multiple sixes across formats.
### Most Sixes Off Jasprit Bumrah – Full List
The record for the most sixes hit off Bumrah belongs to AB de Villiers, who smashed eight sixes against him in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He is followed by Virat Kohli and JP Duminy, while other big-hitters like Andre Russell and Pat Cummins also feature prominently in the list. Here’s the updated record for the most sixes against Jasprit Bumrah:
– AB de Villiers – 8
– Virat Kohli – 6
– JP Duminy – 6
– Pat Cummins – 5
– Andre Russell – 3
– Sahibzada Farhan – 3
– MS Dhoni – 2
### Why This Feat Matters
Jasprit Bumrah is widely regarded as one of the toughest bowlers to face in T20 cricket. His unorthodox action, deadly yorkers, and clever variations make him a nightmare for batsmen—especially in high-pressure matches.
For Farhan to take him on in a high-stakes final between India and Pakistan and succeed is a commendable achievement. This milestone not only cements Farhan’s place in Pakistan’s cricketing history but also places him in the same conversation as all-time greats like AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni.
