Bringing out the best of Ishant Sharma:

Back in 2014 when India toured England in a test series MS Dhoni used a ploy that is unheard from an Indian bowler.

With a bowler like Ishant Sharma at his disposal, Dhoni got him to bowl a dangerous line onto the body of the batsmen with occasional bouncers as he made the entire English batting lineup uncomfortable in their own backyard.

His decision to go for such a tactic paid off as the seamer ripped through the batting lineup picking up an important 5-for to help his side.
