This swim, which stretches from Talaimannar in Sri Lanka to Dhanushkodi in India, is known for its challenging sea conditions and strong currents. Ishank's dedication to training at Dhurwa Dam, where he practiced for four to five hours daily under the guidance of his coaches, has led him to become the youngest swimmer to complete this route. His accomplishment has been recognized with the 'Youngest and Fastest Palk Strait Swimmer' certificate from the Universal Records Forum.

Social media users have also expressed admiration for Ishank, calling him a hero and an inspiration for future generations.
