Fahim is a stylish, elegant batsman. In full flow, he is a sight for sore eyes.

There is not a touch of arrogance about Fahim's batting but of lyrical, fluent movement, his innings memorable for a refined, effortless beauty. His strength is precision and timing. He has the ability to go on back and front foot with equal facility, on occasions moving from backward to forward or vice versa during the course of one stroke and yet send the ball crashing to the fence. A high back-lift gives him a touch of elegance, and combined with powerful and supple wrists guiding the ball into the gaps on both sides of the wicket, he scores a very high proportion of his runs in boundaries. When the going is good, he seems like a maestro at work, his artistry, his elegance leaving connoisseurs awestruck.
