Ihsanullah Claims He Can Dismiss Abhishek Sharma in Just Three Balls

Pakistan’s young fast bowler Ihsanullah has not bowled in an international match for almost two years, but his confidence has not faded one bit. The 22-year-old speedster recently made headlines with a bold statement, claiming that he would dismiss India’s top-ranked T20I batter, Abhishek Sharma, in just three balls if they ever faced each other. His fearless words have once again put him in the spotlight, sparking laughter, debate, and excitement across the cricket community.

In a viral video, Ihsanullah confidently said, “Abhishek Sharma, when he plays me, he will not survive more than six deliveries.” His statement quickly caught attention, with fans and analysts reacting with surprise and amusement. Many saw it as typical Ihsanullah — confident, unpredictable, and unafraid to speak his mind.

The timing of his comments is particularly interesting. Abhishek Sharma is currently enjoying the best phase of his career. The left-handed opener dominated the Asia Cup 2025, scoring over 300 runs and leading India to major victories. His explosive batting not only earned him the top spot in the ICC T20I batting rankings but also helped him break Dawid Malan’s long-standing rating record with an impressive 926 points. In that tournament, Abhishek was especially ruthless against Pakistani bowlers, playing two match-winning knocks that left fans amazed. However, many now wonder how things might have been different if Ihsanullah had been part of the bowling attack.

On the other hand, Ihsanullah’s own career has been on a different track. Once celebrated as Pakistan’s next big fast-bowling sensation, he burst onto the scene in 2023 with his incredible pace and energy. But injuries and off-field challenges have kept him away from both domestic and international cricket for quite some time. He has represented Pakistan in only four T20 Internationals and a single One Day International. Despite the setbacks, his determination and belief in his abilities remain unshaken — and that self-confidence is exactly what makes him stand out.

Cricket fans, however, can’t help but find humor in the contrast. On one side is Abhishek Sharma, currently at the peak of his career and ranked as the world’s best T20I batter. On the other side is Ihsanullah, struggling to regain his place in domestic cricket. Yet, both share a fearless attitude and self-belief that make cricket so unpredictable and entertaining. Social media is flooded with memes and playful debates, imagining how the face-off between these two players might unfold.

For now, the possibility of Ihsanullah bowling to Abhishek Sharma remains uncertain. But one thing is clear — if that ever happens, cricket fans from Karachi to Kanpur will be glued to their screens, waiting to see if Ihsanullah’s three-ball prediction comes true or if Abhishek continues his unstoppable form. Either way, it would be a contest full of fire, pride, and excitement — the kind that makes cricket fans dream.
