Farhan opens up about his AK47 celebration Speaking at a press conference on Monday ahead of Pakistans second Super 4 match against Sri Lanka Farhan was questioned about his celebration against India. The 29-year-old said that he doesn’t care what others think and celebrated as he wanted to. I think if you talk about the sixes you will see that (a lot) in the future. And that (celebration) was just a moment at that time. I do not do a lot of celebrations after scoring 50. But it suddenly came to my mind that lets do a celebration today. I did that. I dont know how people will take it. I dont care about that. And the rest you know you should play aggressive cricket wherever you play. It is not necessary that it is India. You should play aggressive cricket against every team like we played today he said in response to the question. Farhan on Pakistans planning for the upcoming match against Sri Lanka When questioned about Pakistans planning for the upcoming match against Sri Lanka Farhan said that the team had previously lost a lot of wickets in powerplays. Fixing that is crucial while also making sure to score runs in the powerplay. I think in the last few matches what was missing was that we were not utilising powerplays well. We were giving early wickets. It is important to use the powerplays well and also not give away wickets. The way we played in powerplays today we did not give away early on wickets. God willing our powerplay was also very good as we scored 90 something runs in 10 overs. We did collapse in the middle but we will rectify it he concluded.
