17yr old Farhan Shaikh bags 6/43 against players much senior to him in the Kanga League‘18
Even when cub lions are born, they are never afraid to attack on other animals of the jungle who are much bigger and elder to them. They know their abilities and they back them up with full confidence and such a very similar case in cricket was witnessed a few days ago when a mere 17yr old Farhan Shaikh attacked the batsman who were almost twice his age and experience with his wily spin.
Mazgaon CC batting first at Oval Maidan were all out for 120runs, thanks to this little genius called Farhan who bagged a stunning 6/43 in 15overs against players with an average age of 28 to 30. Farhan bowled really well in the right areas and hardly appeared to be afraid playing against senior players as he kept on breaking the partnerships taking wickets at regular intervals.
Young Parsee CC in reply declared their innings at 112/5 in 30overs with their wicket-keeper opening batsman Bharat Singh top scoring the innings with a gritty 60 off 90balls(4fours). Young Parsee CC won the match on 1st innings lead and it was their 17yr old left arm spinner Farhan winning the hearts of everyone!
