Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan has delivered a strong statement ahead of the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, confirming that his team will stick to aggressive cricket.
The blockbuster match, scheduled for February 15 in Colombo, was briefly surrounded by uncertainty after administrative disagreements led to questions over Pakistan’s participation.
With the matter now resolved, the marquee fixture is officially set to take place, adding even more excitement to one of cricket’s biggest rivalries.
Farhan heads into the contest in confident form. The 26-year-old right-hander played a decisive role in Pakistan’s 32-run win over the USA, scoring a fluent 73 off 41 balls.
His innings, laced with boundaries and played at a high strike rate, helped Pakistan post a strong total and seize control early in the game.
After the match, Farhan made it clear that Pakistan will not change its approach against India. He stressed that the team intends to remain positive and continue playing attacking cricket, just as they have in previous encounters.
His comments reflect a mindset focused on pressure-free, proactive cricket rather than cautious play.
Farhan has shown he can perform in high-profile matches. In earlier meetings against India, he has contributed valuable runs, including a notable half-century in a major tournament final last year.
His ability to handle big occasions makes him a key figure at the top of the batting order.
Captain Salman Agha also expressed confidence in the squad’s balance, pointing to their flexible batting lineup and experienced bowling attack.
With momentum building in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan appears ready for the challenge.
As February 15 approaches, attention will center on Sahibzada Farhan and whether his attacking intent can make the difference in another thrilling chapter of India vs Pakistan cricket history.
