LAHORE: Taking on his previous team, Lahore Qalandars, opener Sahibzada Farhan is preparing for one of the most awaited games of the season as Islamabad United’s undefeated run in PSL 10 extends. Although the conflict is supposed to generate strong feelings, Farhan is putting his whole attention on keeping his remarkable form.
Farhan’s Emotional Connection to Lahore Qalandars
For the 29-year-old who last season played for Lahore Qalandars, facing his old squad would definitely have emotional importance. Farhan, meanwhile, was quick to turn the conversation back to his present team and responsibilities.
“Yes, it feels particular to play against Lahore Qalandars since I was part of their squad last season,” Farhan said.
“But I want to regularly outshine every team. That is my part: I can support Islamabad United in winning.”
Farhan’s performance thus far has been crucial for Islamabad’s unbroken run; his focus is still pure despite the emotional challenge of confronting his former side.
A Replacement Player Rising to Star Status
Many felt Islamabad United’s choice of Farhan as a substitute player was only temporary. He did, however, soon establish himself and is now a mainstay of the team. His seamless shift from a substitute to a top performer is very remarkable.
“I was lucky that Islamabad United chose me; there were still a few franchises looking for replacements.” Farhan said. As he says, “I’m happy that I’ve been able to carry forward my domestic form into the PSL.” His confidence is clear.
Farhan had a remarkable domestic season; he set a goal to achieve two centuries in the National T20 Cup but exceeded it with three. Now he is continuing that momentum into PSL 10, where he has already been instrumental in the success of his squad.
