In a surprising and somewhat amusing turn of events, Pakistan Test cricketer Ahmed Shehzad got bowled out thrice in a single over by a local cricketer in Chitral. A video of the encounter has gone viral, showcasing the unexpected skills of Chitral local Ibrahim Khan.
The Unexpected Challenge
The video begins with Shehzad confidently facing off against Ibrahim. Shehzad boasted that he would hit three sixes in the over, while Ibrahim confidently challenged that he could bowl out the national cricketer twice. What followed, however, was quite the opposite of what Shehzad had anticipated.
Rather than being intimidated by Shehzad’s claims, Ibrahim took the challenge head-on. His confidence and skill were evident as he bowled with precision. Shehzad struggled to connect with the ball, managing to do so only once.
In a remarkable display, Ibrahim bowled Shehzad out not once, not twice, but three times in the same over. Each time the ball hit the stumps, Ibrahim celebrated ecstatically, much to the delight of onlookers.
