Former India batter Aakash Chopra, who has donned the hat of an authority and commentator after his retirement from skilled cricket, on Tuesday (December 9) roasted Pakistani batter Sahibzada Farhan for making a documentary after hitting star Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for multiple sixes within the Asia Cup 2025. Within the 2025 edition of the Asia Cup, Pakistan faced India 3 times, and in those three matches, Farhan hammered Bumrah for 3 sixes. He tonked a few maximums through the group stage match played on September 14 in Dubai and one six in the ultimate on September 28 at the identical venue.
After breaking the record of hitting essentially the most sixes in T20Is against Bumrah, Farhan received a grand welcome in Pakistan, and recently a documentary was also made on him wherein he proudly talked about hitting sixes off Bumrah’s bowling.
Paying attention to Farhan’s viral clips, Chopra roasted him on Tuesday through the first India-South Africa T20I match, which was played at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. In a clip going viral on the web, after Aiden Markram scored a six off Bumrah’s bowling on the fifth ball of the fourth over of the 176-run chase, Chopra said that it’s demanding to hit Bumrah for a six, and if by likelihood anyone does, then they make a documentary of it.
“Bumrah ko chakka koi maar de itna aasan nahi hota. Kabhi lag jata hai toh log documentary bana lete hai,” Chopra said through the fourth over of South Africa’s innings.
Here’s a glance:
In the primary T20I, Markram, despite hitting Bumrah for a six, didn’t play a giant knock and got out after scoring 14 runs from as many balls. He was bowled by Axar Patel on the primary ball of the last over of the powerplay. Axar finished with figures of two for 7 in two overs, and two South African batters each were also sent back to the dugout by Arshdeep Singh, Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy.
The primary wicket of Bumrah within the series opener, which got here in the shape of Dewald Brevis, helped him take his tally of wickets to 100 in T20Is. He’s the primary Indian bowler to take 100 wickets in all three formats (Tests, ODIs and T20Is).
