Ishant Sharma – With the Indian fast bowling spearhead Mohammed Shami injured and Umesh Yadav likely to be rested, Ishant Sharma’s chances of making a comeback in the squad and to lead pace attack in their absence has increased.
This will be a golden opportunity for Ishant to not just show that he is an experienced player but also seal a spot for the Champion Trophy as well.
If selected, Ishant will be quite crucial in England as he has some sweet memories in that country. A seven-wicket haul at Lord’s and two wickets of Ravi Bopara and Eoin Morgan at a crucial juncture in Champions Trophy final still brings a smile on fans’ faces. He will be an asset for the team in Champions Trophy and this series will serve as an entrance test for him to get a place in the team for the ICC tournament.
