Ishant Sharma: "I want to bowl at 100MPH"

Guys, what are you talking about. Stupid Indians on these forums take Ishant for granted. He's a great guy and an awesome bowling legend.

Probably up there with the likes of Wasim and Waqar. The hate is unreasonable really.

He should play the Pak series, right? :yk
 
The legend is back on our screens. Looking 'lean and mean' according to Ravi Shastri lol.

:)) :))

Out of curious it's which bowler from outside the sub continent do you think is better than him? Personally I think he's the best pace sensation we have seen since the days of the legendary West Indian pacers :afaq

Ishant's age when he reached 200 test wickets = 26. Akram at the same stage only had 170 or 180. In years to come people will refer to Akram as the left handed Ishant. :)

So in 1 Year and 226 days since he's managed to take 1 more wicket. At this rate when's he's 30 he will have 203 test wickets. :)

LOL, even stats favor the emerging star Ishu. Heleft Wasim behind now.. :)))

Move aside Wasim, the greatest pacer from Asia is here :srt
 
He's the world's 3rd best bowler along with amir at the moment. I don't think I've to specifically mention who r the first two bowlers. Everybody knows who are they :yk

Amir is a pathetic trundler compared to Ishant. Stop trying to please the Pakistani fans.

Amir is a nobody. Ishant has been performing for years now. Its an unfair comparison really , heavily in favour of Ishant.
 
Will the great man get his bowling average below 35 this year? At the time of writing it's 36.94. That's the highest bowling average (and by some distance too) for anyone who has 200+ test wickets.
 
The great Ishant turns 29 today. Happy birthday to the legend.

He'll get 100 runs conceded in LOIs rather than 100mph, if he hasn't already.

Was thinking exactly the same - how is he only 29?!? Thought he was mid 30s at least!

He made his debut quiet early, the lad has been around forever; hopefully he tours England when India are here :)) He gets a lot of stick but is great to watch when the pitch helps him a little bit as well, he's also entertaining when he's getting smashed to bits as well I don't think there has ever been a draw quiet like him :yk

A clumsy bowler who had his moments is probably the best way to describe him :))
 
Ishant Sharma to lead Delhi Ranji team, Gautam Gambhir ‘relieved from captaincy’

India seamer Ishant Sharma will lead Delhi in their first two Ranji Trophy 2017-18 matches. The selection committee, comprising of Atul Wassan, Hari Gidwani and Robin Singh Jr, drafted some new faces for the upcoming season. Gautam Gambhir, who has been “relieved of captaincy” and Unmukt Chand continue to be the two openers while the middle-order wears a fresh look with additions of Himmat Singh and Kunal Chandela. The selectors have ignored Parvinder Awana and Varun Sood for the first two matches.

“We have collectively decided to relieve Gambhir from captaincy as we want him to score runs. Ishant having no captaincy experience doesn’t matter since he has played a lot of international cricket and he has Gambhir and KP Bhaskar (head coach) for guidance,” Atul Wassan, chairman of senior selection committee, told The Indian Express.

Himmat, who plays in the middle-order, has been a regular scorer in the junior age-groups for the state while Kunal scored heavily in the last two editions of the Vizzy Trophy. He was part of the u-23 squad last year but failed to make an impression with the bat. Seamer Kulwant Khejroliya, who has been making a lot of noise for his bowling speeds, is part of the seam attack also featuring Navdeep Saini, who represents India A, Vikas Tokas and captain Ishant. “Kulwant was picked in Board’s President XI, which means national selectors were also excited,” added Wassan.

In the spin department, Vikas Mishra, who was part of India U-19 World Cup winning squad in 2012, makes a return to the squad and he has left-arm spinner Manan Sharma and off-spinner Pulkit Narang for company. Rishabh Pant has been picked as the wicketkeeper-batsman but keeping his India A assignment in mind, selectors have included Anuj Rawat as the standbye.

“We are looking at all options. We want some U-19 players to play their age group because they stand a better chance there with the selectors watching. Injuries forced us to add more players to the probables before the camp began,” said Wassan.

“There will be rotations and we will continue to explore all options. Yes, Delhi didn’t have many matches this year but most of the players were playing cricket with their corporate teams and clubs,” said Wassan.

The selectors have also announced the U-23 squad for the first two matches and appointed Jonty Sidhu, who led India U-19 in the past, as captain for the season.

Delhi Ranji Trophy Squad: Ishant Sharma (C), Gautam Gambhir, Unmukt Chand, Nitish Rana, Dhruv Shorey, Milind Kumar, Himmat Singh, Kunal Chandela, Rishabh Pant (WK), Manan Sharma, Vikas Mishra, Pulkit Narang, Navdeep Saini, Vikas Tokas, Kulwant Khejroliya. Standbyes: Simranjeet Singh, Shivam Sharma, Aditya Kaushik, Harsh Tyagi and Anuj Rawat

Delhi U-23 Squad: Hiten Dalal, Rajesh Sharma, Jonty Sidhu (C), Lalit Yadav, Kunwar Bidhuri, Yash Sehrawat, Salil Malhotra, Dinesh Mor (WK), Shivank Vashisht, Tejas Baroka, Mohammad Bilal, Kuldeep Yadav, Abhishek Vats, Sarang Rawat, Simarjeet Singh. Standbyes: Ankur Kaushik, Ajay Ahlawat, Nishant Kantewala, Mohit Ahlawat, Prashant Bhandari

Come on Ishant!!

Win a game for India!

PS: Stats don't tell the whole story of Ishant's career. He's better than those stats!
 
Best Indian bowler in test cricket. Stats dont tell the number of times hes turned the tide in India's favour.
 
Did he bowl 100mph yet? As a Pak fan and a phaast bolling fan I am very worried :danish
 
Ishant was the best Indian pacer today by far. As always unlucky. A catch dropped as well.
 
His 2 wickets just before Lunch may have changed the game completely.
 
Ishant has found some real form in the late part of his career. His line and length has gotten so much more consistent, he can play well as a support seamer can produce some crucial match-turning spells when on song.

None of India's fast-bowlers are on the Starc-Rabada-Anderson or even Abbas level. But because they all contribute in some way they end up forming a very good fast-bowling attack, capable of challenging any team.
 
Hes always there.

Gas played 83 tests for India. That's a lot. 243 test wickets.
 
Ishant Sharma found guilty of breaching ICC Code of Conduct

Ishant Sharma has been fined 15 per cent of his match and has also received one demerit point after being found guilty of a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel during the third day’s play in the first Test against England at Edgbaston on Friday.

The India fast bowler was found to have violated Article 2.1.7 of the code, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an international match”.

The incident happened during the first session’s play on Friday when Sharma celebrated the dismissal of Dawid Malan in close proximity to him, an action which in the view of the match officials had the potential to provoke an aggressive reaction from the departing batsman.

After the day’s play, Sharma admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

The charge was levelled by on-field umpires Aleem Dar and Chris Gaffaney, third umpire Marais Erasmus, all from the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Umpires, as well as fourth umpire Tim Robinson.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
 
Good bowler. Blows hot and cold but he had his moments.

India's 4th best fast bowler in tests after Kapil, Srinath and Zaheer.
 
He is the best improved bowler I have ever seen.
Not very long time ago he was competing with Sami,Rubel for the worst test bowler ever with highest test everage.But now he is averaging a very respectable 35+ in tests.Thats a massive improvement.Thanks to Indian selectors.They believed in his potentiality and he delivered.He is still 29 years old. He is still improving.
