Ishant Sharma has given impeccable contributions in Team India’s victory in home and foreign conditions. On many occasions, he has turned the game on India’s favour with his fast bowling. The pacer was asked to name the most memorable and best spell of his career. Well, you can guess the bowling performance which Ishant would have selected. Yes, the 2014 India’s tour of England when India won their first-ever Test in Lord.
In the second Test match, India was defending 319 runs in the fourth innings. MS Dhoni-led side was under pressure as the host had a decent start. However, Ishant put his best and reduced the hosts for a moderate 223 all-out with the figures of 7 for 74. But India lost the five-match Test series by 1-3 against England.
Ishant Sharma names his best bowling spell:
In the recent interview with Cricbuzz, Ishant Sharma expressed that his best bowling spell came recently against New Zealand while he named Lord’s spell as his personal best.
“If you see the kind of performances that I am putting in recent times, those are much better spells than what I bowled to Ponting. The Lord’s spell was a much better spell,” told the pace spearhead for Virat Kohli-led Team India in whites.
In the Two match Test series against New Zealand, he was the highest wicket-taker for the team in the first Test while he sustained an injury ahead of the second Test match.
He was the only Indian bowler who showed the right temperament in the New Zeland pitches. However, he was unable to contribute in the second and final Test match because of the injury.
Earlier, he got an injury during the match in Ranji Trophy 2019-20. Following which, he went under-recovery period in NCA.
Currently, Ishant is recovering from his ankle injury
