Ishant Sharma nears history
Being the only pacer to play 100+ Test matches for India, Ishant Sharma arguably has been one of the finest to play for the nation in the longest format of the game.
Ishant Sharma however, in the upcoming five-Test series against England can take over Zaheer Khan’s tally of 311 wickets to become the Indian pacer with most Test wickets. The right-arm pacer so far has scalped 306 wickets at an average of 32.19 to go with 11 five-wicket hauls.
The lanky pacer is the highest wicket-taker for India in England with 43 wickets to his name and was also the highest wicket-taker for India against England in the 2018 test series taking 18 wickets in 5 matches.
