In the ever-evolving world of cricket, one boundary can spark a national debate, the legendary Indian opener Virender Sehwag proved once again that his off-field intelligence is as sharp as it is off-the-field. The ‘Nawab of Najafgarh’ recently took a hilarious jab at Pakistan’s rising star. Sahibzade FarhanHis decision to star in his personal documentary ‘Hero in the Making’ raised a few eyebrows at the border. Known for his look-the-ball, hit-the-ball philosophy, Sehwag’s latest reaction highlights the fine line between celebrating a moment and over-sensationalizing a career.
The controversy stems from a viral clip shared by Fever FM, where Sehwag reacted to Farhan’s documentary highlighting a special moment in the Asia Cup: hitting three sixes off India’s pace, jasprit bumrah. While breaking Bumrah’s streak of not conceding a six in T20Is was indeed a feat, Sehwag’s subsequent cinematic work was a bit overdone.
“According to him, he hit three sixes and that was enough for a full documentary.” Sehwag celebrated with his signature laugh.
He didn’t stop there, he used his legendary career to put things into perspective. Sehwag added,“I joked that by that logic I should have a whole web series to score 300, 254 and 100 runs. You haven’t singled out every bowler but you’ve made a documentary about just three sixes. I think it’s an art, a special kind of talent – but maybe don’t flaunt that talent too much..”
Farhan’s documentary tried to capitalize on the ‘Bumrah-the-killer’ narrative that has been sweeping Pakistani social media. Despite Farhan’s 217 runs in that tournament, critics – and now Sehwag – point out that Pakistan lost all three matches against India during that period, including the final, and that the celebration of a few sixes felt a bit empty.

Farhan’s dream run with the bat is in the T20 World Cup 2026
While Sehwag has teased the documentary, Farhan seems intent on making sure his next film has a better script. Fast forward T20 World Cup 2026and the right-hander went from viral moment to statistical powerhouse. Farhan is currently silencing critics by topping the batting charts of the tournament and proving that his talent goes far beyond mere brilliance.
His stats from the 2026 campaign tell the full story of dominance:
| Tournament | Matches | Innings | Escape | High score | Medium | Holiday rate | 100s | 50s | 4p | 6p |
| T20 World Cup 2026 | 4 | 4 | 220 | 100* | 73.33 | 164.17 | 1 | 1 | 21 | 11 |
His most defining moment came against Namibia in Colombo where he smashed 100 off 58 balls to become the second Pakistani batsman to score a century in a T20 World Cup. Ahmed Shahzad. This performance secured Pakistan’s place in the Super 8 and gave the opener a legitimate claim to hero status. Whether it is caused by a Season 2 his documentary remains to be seen, but for now, Farhan is letting his bat do the talking.
