The world number 1 men’s T20I batter, as per the ICC rankings, Abhishek Sharma is now facing an open challenge from Pakistan national cricket team pacer Ihsanullah. In a video that went viral, the 22-year-old Pakistani pacer was seen saying, “Had Abhishek Sharma played in front of me, he would not have survived for more than 6 deliveries. I would have dismissed him within 3 balls of my over.” Interestingly, Abhishek Sharma was the top run-getter in the Asia Cup 2025, having scored 314 runs in seven innings. Against Pakistan, he scored 31 in the first match, 74 in the second, and five in the final. Ihsanullah, on the other hand, has played only 4 T20Is (6 wickets) and 1 ODI (0 wickets) for Pakistan, last representing his country in 2023.
