Below, we have listed the 3 Pakistan players who can trouble India.

1. Sahibzada Farhan

Sahibzada Farhan has been one of the finest talents for Pakistan. He has been in sensational form in the 2026 T20 World Cup with one half-century in the first two games. He scored 47 and 73 against the Netherlands and the USA, respectively. Farhan single-handedly took the game away from the opponents in the opening games.

Sahibzada Farhan has a good record against India. He has scored two fifties in three games he played against the Men in Blue, scoring 155 runs in three matches at an average of 51.66 and a strike rate of 122. He was excellent in the Asia Cup games against Suryakumar Yadav's side. With the kind of form he has been he could be troubling the Indian bowlers.

2. Faheem Ashraf

Faheem Ashraf showcased his brilliance in the very first game against the Netherlands. His 29 off 11 balls sealed the game for the Men in Green, who looked in trouble in the first game against the Dutch with 114/7 chasing 148 runs. He did not bowl in the first game.

Faheem has a decent record against India, picking four wickets in three games. He has a good average bowling against the Men in Blue of 15 and an economy of 7.50. His ability to strike the ball towards the end of the innings will be crucial against India, who have a good bowling attack.

3. Usman Tariq

Usman Tariq has been a good find by Pakistan. The mystery spinner has been creating havoc among the batters with his style of bowling. He was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan last night against the USA. The spinner picked three wickets, giving out just 27 runs in his four-over spell, and bowled brilliantly.

Usman Tariq has picked at least one wicket in 23 consecutive T20 innings, which is a record for a Pakistani bowler. He has not played a single game against India, so his mystery will trouble the Indian batters on the Sri Lankan pitches, which have been known for dry wickets, and he can extract good spin.
