Ihsanullah’s “Three-Ball Challenge” to Abhishek Sharma Takes Social Media by Storm
October 10, 2025
Pakistan’s young fast bowler Ihsanullah is once again in the spotlight — not for his pace this time, but for a bold claim that has set social media buzzing. The 22-year-old speedster confidently stated that he could dismiss India’s star batter Abhishek Sharma within three deliveries, sparking a wave of memes, reactions, and debates across cricket circles.
⚡ “He Won’t Survive Six Balls,” Says Ihsanullah
In a viral video clip, Ihsanullah boldly declared:
“When Abhishek Sharma faces me, he will not survive more than six deliveries.”
The comment quickly caught fire online, with fans from both Pakistan and India jumping into the discussion. Some praised Ihsanullah’s confidence, while others took a more humorous view of the challenge.

🏏 Abhishek Sharma’s Record-Breaking Form
Ihsanullah’s challenge comes at a time when Abhishek Sharma is enjoying the peak of his career. The Indian left-hander dominated the Asia Cup 2025, scoring over 300 runs and climbing to the No. 1 spot in ICC T20I rankings. He even broke Dawid Malan’s all-time rating record, reaching an impressive 926 rating points.
During the same tournament, Abhishek showcased his aggressive batting against Pakistan’s bowlers — though Ihsanullah wasn’t part of the squad. Fans can’t help but wonder how the contest might have played out if the fiery pacer had been in action.

💥 From Pakistan’s Express Hope to Comeback Dream
Once hailed as Pakistan’s next fast-bowling sensation, Ihsanullah made a promising start in 2023 with appearances in four T20Is and one ODI. However, injuries and off-field setbacks have kept him away from the game in recent months. Despite that, his confidence remains unshaken.
Cricket followers have found the contrast between the two players amusing — one dominating world cricket, the other plotting a return — yet both sharing the same fearless mindset that defines great competitors.
🌍 Fans React Across Borders
Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram were flooded with reactions. Some fans jokingly called it the “most ambitious challenge of 2025,” while others hoped to actually see the two face off someday.
“If it ever happens, the world will stop to watch those three balls,” one user wrote.
🔮 Will the Challenge Ever Happen?
Whether Ihsanullah gets a chance to test his “three-ball prediction” against Abhishek Sharma remains to be seen. But one thing is certain — cricket fans from Karachi to Kanpur are loving every bit of the rivalry that exists only in words, for now.
