He’s had chances to do well in big matches. But so far he hasn’t done as well against India as he has in domestic cricket and other international matches.
Faheem has played in both regular series and big tournaments like the Asia Cup so he’s been in the spotlight when the pressure is on. Let’s check out his stats and see how he’s done against India.

Faheem Ashraf’s record against India hardly tests his all-round capacities. Even though he has had fairly limited chances, one has to say his records show that he missed a few opportunities to really make a significant impact.
As Pakistan gets ready for the Asia Cup 2025 Faheem will want to change things around and finally play as well as he can – especially against India where players often make a name for themselves.
