Ishant Sharma is one of the best fast bowlers India has produced. His fiery spell against Ricky Ponting at Perth in 2008 grabbed attention of the cricket enthusiasts around the world. It also prompted Steve Waugh to call him the next best thing in Indian cricket. However, the career of Ishant has seen many ups and downs since then – from bouncing England out of the game at Lord’s to in-and-outs from the side. At present, he is the most capped bowler in India’s Test side.
