Career Highlights & Performance
Leadership & Heroics
Yousaf is highly regarded for his tactical intelligence and ability to lead from the front during difficult chases.
Asian Champions (Dec 2025): Under his captaincy, Pakistan defeated India by 191 runs in the Asia Cup final. While Sameer Minhas provided the fireworks, Farhan was praised for his aggressive field settings and for guiding his bowlers to bowl India out for just 156.
World Cup Performance (Jan 2026): In Pakistan’s opening World Cup match against England (Jan 16), Farhan was the lone warrior in a collapsing top order. He scored a resilient 65 off 86 balls (including 3 fours and 4 sixes), keeping Pakistan’s hopes alive until he was eventually dismissed in the 41st over.
Tri-Series Success: Just before the World Cup, he led Pakistan to a dominant victory in the tri-series in Zimbabwe, beating the hosts by nine wickets in the final.
