A video related to Pakistan cricket is going viral on social media these days. In this video, Pakistan’s opener batsman Sahibzada Farhan gave such a statement, which surprised not only the fans but also the former cricketers of Pakistan. Farhan placed Pakistan’s Ahmed Shahzad above names like legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Saeed Anwar.

What is the whole matter?

In the viral video, Sahibzada Farhan was asked about his favorite opener. In response, he took the name of Ahmed Shehzad and called him better than many great batsmen. The controversy started from here and he started being heavily criticized on social media.

Former Pakistani players were also surprised

Former Pakistani cricketers Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal also reacted to this video. Basit Ali could not believe this statement. He said jokingly, “This is 100% fake. Sahibzada Farhan is not crazy enough to choose Ahmed Shehzad over Sachin Tendulkar. With folded hands, I say, end this topic here.”

Kamran Akmal made fun of

Kamran Akmal had already seen this video and could not stop laughing. He said, “He is a cricketer, he should speak thoughtfully. It is okay to mention your idol, but it is not right to compare with players like Sachin and Saeed Anwar. The way of reply could have been better.”

The matter reached public apology

The matter did not stop here. Basit Ali further said that whenever he meets Sahibzada Farhan, he will definitely ask him whether he was fully conscious that day. Also, both Basit and Kamran together apologized for this ‘mistake’ of Farhan.

Farhan’s career and T20 World Cup connection

Sahibzada Farhan has become a regular opener for Pakistan in T20 International. So far he has scored 917 runs in 37 T20 matches, which includes 8 half-centuries. However, he has not yet got a chance to make ODI and Test debut.

The ODI cricket clash between India and New Zealand has always been exciting. Many memorable matches have been played between the two teams, in which big batsmen have left their mark by scoring centuries. Especially if we talk about centuries in India vs New Zealand ODI matches, the names of some legendary players appear at the top.

Virender Sehwag – India

In this list, the name of former explosive opener of India Virender Sehwag comes first. Sehwag played 23 ODI matches against New Zealand between 2001 and 2010 and scored 6 centuries. He scored 1157 runs and his average was more than 52. The specialty of Sehwag’s batting was that he used to put pressure on the bowlers from the very beginning. His ability to score fast runs left New Zealand’s bowling helpless at times.

Virat Kohli – India

Same number of centuries are also registered in the name of Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli has scored 6 centuries in 33 ODI matches against New Zealand between 2010 and 2025. During this period he scored 1657 runs and his average was more than 55. Kohli’s style is completely different from Sehwag. He plays with control in the innings and is aggressive at the right time. Scoring runs under pressure has been his biggest strength, due to which he jointly tops this list with Sehwag.

Nathan Astle – New Zealand

The batsman who has scored the most centuries for New Zealand is Nathan Astle. He scored 5 centuries in 29 matches against India. Astle’s name is also special because he played a historic inning of 153 runs against India in 2002. Which was counted among the fastest century innings of ODI cricket for a long time. His aggressive batting put the Indian bowlers in trouble many times.

Sachin Tendulkar – India

India’s great batsman Sachin Tendulkar is also included in this list. Sachin scored 5 centuries and scored 1750 runs in 42 ODI matches against New Zealand. His highest score was 186 not out, which is one of the memorable innings of ODI cricket. Sachin’s consistency and technical strength made him the most reliable batsman in this rivalry.

Chris Cairns – New Zealand

The name of New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns also appears in this list. Cairns scored 3 centuries against India and on many occasions single-handedly changed the course of the match. With his innings he proved that he could win matches not only with the ball but also with the bat.

The first match of the three-match ODI series was played between India and South Africa in Ranchi on Sunday. In this match, Virat Kohli played a brilliant inning of record 135 runs. Virat Kohli, who became the ‘Player of the Match’, hit 11 fours and 7 sixes in his innings of 120 balls. Many veteran cricketers reacted to this brilliant innings of Virat, but what former Indian opener Virender Sehwag said went viral.

Triple Century In Test & Double Hundred In ODIs: In the history of international cricket, many fearsome batsmen have come and gone, but there have been only a few batsmen who have registered their names in the pages of history. In international cricket, very few batsmen have been able to create fear among the bowlers, among which the names of former Indian opener Virender Sehwag and former West Indies opener Chris Gayle come on top. They scored a lot of runs with their batting in all three formats and both were successful in achieving a feat which no batsman has been able to do till date.

Virender Sehwag made a big record

India’s explosive former opening batsman Virender Sehwag is the first player in the history of international cricket to score two triple centuries in Tests and a double century in ODIs. Sehwag had created history by scoring the first triple century against Pakistan while the second triple century was scored in the match played with South Africa.

There are very few father-son duos in cricket who have made a good mark in international cricket. Perhaps there is no such place where the playing style of both father and son seems to be similar. This nature is visible in Virender Sehwag and his son Aryaveer Sehwag. In the Delhi vs Bihar match in the Cooch Behar Trophy, Aryaveer Sehwag played an important role in his team’s victory by playing a powerful inning of 72 runs by destroying the bowlers.

Delhi team came to bat first, for which Aryaveer Sehwag played an inning of 72 runs in 120 balls. He hit 14 fours in his innings. After that, captain Pranav Pant put the Delhi team in a strong position by playing an inning of 89 runs in 141 balls. There was a partnership of 147 runs between Aryaveer and Pant in the first innings.

Delhi had scored 278 runs in the first innings, after which the team’s bowlers played brilliantly and bowled out Bihar for 125 runs. After taking a lead of 153 runs in the first innings, Delhi made Bihar follow on. In Indian domestic cricket, when a team gets a lead of more than 150 runs in the first innings, it can force follow-on to the opposition team. However, in international cricket the rule of follow on is for a lead of more than 200 runs.

Bihar scored 205 runs in the second innings, after which Delhi got the target of only 53 runs in the fourth innings. Delhi team easily achieved this target at the loss of only 2 wickets. In the second innings, Aryaveer Sehwag returned unbeaten after scoring 27 runs, in this innings he hit 4 fours. Sehwag scored a total of 99 runs in both the innings.
