Ishant Sharma’s rise was a rapid one as he made his Ranji Trophy debut for Delhi at the age of 18 in 2006. Coincidently, this was also the debut first-class match for India’s current captain Virat Kohli. His tall height and ability to bowl 140 kph attracted the selectors’ mind and he soon made his Test debut in 2007 against Bangladesh. His ability to bowl long spells with good pace made him a captain’s go-to man.

But Sharma’s moment came in the WACA Ground in 2008 against Australia. He was all over Ponting in the whole match and dismissed him twice in the match. He still regards it as one of the best spells he has ever bowled.

From here, he became an integral part of the Indian setup. But injuries and lack of form made sure he was not a regular part of the eleven. His average went higher and with competition increasing, his place was under scanner. But with experience, he kept on improving and got fitter. In ODIs, he has been part of some historic moments for India like winning the 2013 Champions Trophy.

Ishant Sharma is the first Indian bowler to claim a five-wicket haul in a Day-night Test match. Over the years, he has played a big role in India’s rise to the top in Test cricket. With his skills and experience, he will play an important role in India’s upcoming Test assignments.
