Imran Farhat Biography

Imran Farhat, Cricketers is famous for Cricket, Pakistani celebrity. Born on 20 May, 1982
A gifted young left-handed opener who threatened at one stage to solve
Pakistan's perennial opening conundrum, Imran Farhat had a brief spell
in the Pakistan side after success with the national under-19 and A
sides. Farhat also evokes Saeed Anwar but only fleetingly; he bludgeons
rather than times his runs. He was rather too cavalier in his early
appearances in the Test arena, and was promptly discarded after the tour
to New Zealand in 2000-01. However, he tightened his game and achieved
much more success in the 2003-04 season. Tempering his impressive array
of shots with better defensive technique, Farhat scored a deluge of runs
in the home series against South Africa and New Zealand, being involved
in a record four successive hundred partnerships with Yasir Hameed in
the one-day internationals against New Zealand. He also notched up his
first century in both Tests and ODIs during this season, and then went
on to score a vital 101 in Pakistan's victory against India in the
Lahore Test. But since the India series, he has fallen away. A mediocre
series at home to Sri Lanka and away to Australia saw him falter,
especially with the emergence of the other left-handed opener, Salman
Butt. When Pakistan included only one specialist opener in the squad for
the series against England in 2005 - Butt - seemingly it confirmed that
Farhat, temporarily, was out of national reckoning. But as an opener in
Pakistan, you are never out of national reckoning and sure enough
Farhat was back for the final Test against India, where he scored a
fifty. That performance saw him on the plane to Sri Lanka and an average
series. But with openers becoming as rare as dinosuars in Pakistan, he
was retained for the summer tour to England, where he again produced
some mixed results. Despite failures in the first two Tests, a broken
finger and a spate of dropped catches, he came back to score a cavalier
91 in the final, fateful Oval Test. Runs against West Indies at home
were followed by a barren patch in South Africa. A first away hundred
followed by a patient half-century in the Napier Test of 2009 has set
him up for a long sojourn in the Test side. His ODI career has however
hit roadblocks since he was dropped after an indifferent run of scores
in 2006.
