Ramiz Raja Praises Sahibzada Farhan’s Fearless Body Language in Dhaka T20I

Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has heaped praise on Sahibzada Farhan for his commanding body language during Pakistan’s final T20I against Bangladesh—an innings that steered his side to a consolatory victory amid a disappointing series loss.

Farhan, dropped for the first two matches, responded emphatically with a 41-ball 63, featuring six fours and five sixes, anchoring Pakistan’s total to 178‑7 in the third game in Dhaka.

“Apart from Sahibzada Farhan, Hasan Nawaz and Mohammad Nawaz, the rest of the players’ body language was poor. It seemed like the team was nervous.”

Ramiz did critique the broader team’s demeanor:

• Limited composure: He observed that apart from Farhan, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Nawaz, many players appeared visibly nervous, lacking confidence and control in their movements and demeanour.
   
• Specific feedback for Mohammad Haris: He called out Haris’ approach at No. 3, describing it as rushed and poorly selected, advising more thoughtfulness and calm at the crease if he wants to succeed in that pivotal position.
   

• Series result: Bangladesh claimed the series 2–1, thanks to wins in the first two matches.
   
• Pakistan’s fightback: Farhan’s knock and a disciplined bowling effort—led by Salman Mirza’s 3‑19—helped Pakistan clinch a consolation win by 74 runs, avoiding a series whitewash.

Ramiz Raja put it only one way: body language is what determines the opportunity. Farhan took his opportunity with grace and intensity but others are now faced with the realisation of how they must develop belief and composure when under pressure an aspect the modern teams can barely afford to lack.
