Farhaan Behardien (born 9 October 1983) is a South African former international cricketer who played ODIs and T20Is. On 10 January 2017, Behardien was appointed as the T20I captain for the Sri Lanka tour.[2]

Early and domestic career[edit]

He also plays for Nashua Titans. He made both his first-class and List-A cricket debuts in the 2004–05 season. Behardien is an aggressive right-handed batsman and a useful bowler, as well as an athletic fielder.[3]

In July 2009, Behardien travelled to Australia for a three-week tour with the South African emerging squad.[4] He also represented South Africa at the 2009 Hong Kong Sixes tournament, where he hit a six of the final ball to lead South Africa to victory in the final against Hong Kong.[5]

In the first half of the 2009 season Behardian played as an overseas player for Bovey Tracey. He had a role as coach of their under-13 side.

In May 2017, he was named T20 Challenge Player of the Season at Cricket South Africa's annual awards.[6]

In June 2018, he was named in the squad for the Titans team for the 2018–19 season.[7] In September 2018, he was named in the Titans' squad for the 2018 Abu Dhabi T20 Trophy.[8] In the same month he also scored his 6,000th run in first-class cricket, batting for Titans in the 2018–19 CSA 4-Day Franchise Series.[9]

In October 2018, he was named in Cape Town Blitz's squad for the first edition of the Mzansi Super League T20 tournament.[10][11] In September 2019, he was named in the squad for the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants team for the 2019 Mzansi Super League tournament.[12] In April 2021, he was named in Free State's squad, ahead of the 2021–22 cricket season in South Africa.[13]

International career[edit]

He made his T20I debut for South Africa against India in early 2012. He scored 20* from 11 deliveries faced. Behardien also earned himself a place in the South African squad for the 2012 ICC World Twenty20. He played in the South African ODI squad in 2014. He played an important knock of 65*.
