One bowler, two generations — from 1969 born Jayasuriya of Gen X generation to a 2011-born kid of Gen Z!!
Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma has achieved a rare and unbelievable cricket record. He has bowled to players who were born 42 years apart, proving his incredible longevity in the game.
Ishant made his international debut back in 2007, when legends like Sanath Jayasuriya (born in 1969) were still playing. Fast-forward to domestic cricket in 2024–25, and Ishant is now bowling to young talents like Vaibhav Suryavanshi — born in 2011, literally a school kid when Ishant was already a veteran.
This unbelievable gap shows how long Ishant has been serving Indian cricket. Very few fast bowlers in world cricket have survived across three generations of players — but Ishant has done it quietly, without noise, without hype.
From troubling Ricky Ponting in 2008 to challenging Gen-Z batters in 2025, Ishant Sharma has written a story of pure fitness, discipline, and passion.
Cricket fans are calling it: “From VHS era to Instagram Reels — Ishant has bowled to everyone!”
A record that might never happen again in modern cricket.
