Pakistan fast bowler Ihsanullah confidently stated that he needs just three balls to get India opening batsman Abhishek Sharma out.
Abhishek has been in red-hot form lately and did well when India played Pakistan three times in the 2025 Asia Cup as he registered scores of 31, 74 and 5.
Despite being one of the best attacking top order batsmen in world cricket right now, Ihsanullah still believes he can dismiss the 25-year-old in quick time.
“If I get the chance to bowl [to] Abhishek Sharma, I will get him out in just three balls,” Ihsanullah was quoted as saying by Khel Shel on X, formerly known as Twitter.
After the 2025 Asia Cup, Pakistan took on South Africa at home and drew the Test series 1-1, while winning both the T20Is and ODIs 2-1.
The men in green are now facing Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series, where they lead 1-0.
Following the ODIs, Pakistan will compete in a T20I tri-series alongside Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe from November 17 to 29.
