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.
Imran Farhat hit a dozen boundaries and two sixes in his 59-ball 100

Opener Imran Farhat slammed a whirlwind unbeaten ton to help Lahore Eagles register a comfortable 58-run win over Hyderabad Hawks at Lahore City Cricket Association in their Faysal Bank T20 Cup opener on Saturday.

The dashing southpaw plundered 100 off 59 balls and shared 168-run opening stand with Taufeeq Umar (65 off 53) as Eagles posted a considerable total of 224-2.

In reply, Sharjeel Khan hit an unbeaten 103 off 65 balls with the help of seven sixes and half-dozen boundaries but failed to receive support from the rest of the cast.

Sharjeel and Azeem Ghumman got hosts off to a flamboyant start in chase and plundered 44 runs off first 27 deliveries before Ghumman, who hit three fours and a six in his 15-ball 28, bowled out edged to Imran Farhat off left-arm seamer Junaid Zia.

Seamer Asif Raza dragged Hawks further into trouble by removing wicketkeeper batsman Shahzad Haider in the subsequent over.

After the back-to-back dismissals, Sharjeel shouldered the obligation single-handedly and continued the anticipation towards target with attacking strokes. But was unable to find a able ally on the other end.

Aqeel Anjum departed for 13 and Rizwan Ahmed perished for single but unstoppable Sharjeel accelerated the flow of runs on board. However, despite of his strive, Hawks failed to cope with consistently rising asking-rate and desponded for 156-5.

Earlier, left-handed openers Imran Farhat and skipper Umar made the mockery of Hyderabad bowling attack with sparkling shots all over the park.

The majestic partnership between the pair ended with the dismissal of Umar, who hit nine boundaries before getting caught behind to gloveman Shahzad Haider off spinner Nasir Awais.

After Umar’s dismissal, Imran Farhat combined with Azhar Ali (28 off 13) for another ostentatious stand, which saw Eagles clobber 58 runs off just 28 deliveries.

Imran Farhat advanced to three figures with the help of 12 boundaries and two gigantic maximums.
