Ishant Sharma Reveals His Favourite Batsman Between Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar

Team India fast-bowler Ishant Sharma, the most experienced pacer of the team, was asked a tricky question to pick his all-time favourite batsman between the two veterans of the game; Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar. The tall pacer didn’t hesitate to name his favourite batter.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma have mostly shared their cricket journey while representing Delhi-based team.

Both the players have played together not only for the senior team but also for the junior team. They have been part of the team in multiple ICC mega-events.

On the other hand, the fast bowler and Tendulkar have not featured together in many matches.

On being asked to pick the favourite between Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar, Ishant didn’t pick the ‘God of Cricket’, Tendulkar. It was a shocking choice by the pacer.

The pacer immediately named Kohli as the best batsman whom he has ever seen on a cricket field.

Ishant said, “Virat Kohli is the best batsman I have ever seen play on a cricket field.” 

Ishant Sharma suffering from injury:

During the Test series against New Zealand, Ishant sustained an ankle injury.

Earlier, he was injured during Ranji Trophy competition after which he went under to the rehabilitation period at Bengaluru’s National Cricket Academy (NCA).

Thus, the decision to force him to play the Test series had backfired him as he has resurfaced with the injury.

However, Ishant was the only pacer who proved lethal in New Zealand conditions. He scalped five wickets, which became his 11th five-wicket haul of Test career, in the first Test match but he can not contribute the same in the second Test because of injury.

Currently, the player is recovering from his ankle injury.
