Today in Cricket, we celebrate the birthday of the star Indian pacer Ishant Sharma. The tall pacer was born on September 2, 1988, in Delhi.
Ishant Sharma, a 6-foot-4-inch fast bowler, made a big impression during India’s 2008 tour of Australia, especially with his impactful spell in the second innings in Perth that helped secure a win for India. Initially seen as the successor to Zaheer Khan after a strong debut season, Ishant’s pace began to decline over time.
He made his international debut for India in 2007 and quickly gained attention with his impressive performance during India’s 2008 tour of Australia, particularly with a memorable spell in Perth.
Over his career, Ishant has faced ups and downs, including a decline in pace and consistency. Despite these challenges, he has delivered several notable performances, including a match-winning 7 for 74 at Lord’s in 2014 and playing a key role in India’s Test series win in Sri Lanka in 2015.
Ishant has surpassed 300 wickets in Test cricket and remains an important figure in Indian cricket.
