#4 Ishant Sharma
While the previous two entries have been successful in all the three format of the game in the last few years, here is a guy who did the same for the team but only in the longest format of the game.
Even since he made his debut in 2007 at the age of 18, Ishant Sharma has been a permanent fixture of Indian team in the longest format and is, at present, the senior most fast-bowler in the team. While he did not find appropriate successes in the shorter formats of the game, the same can not be said about his career in the longest format.
The lanky pacer from Delhi, in the past 11 years, has played 82 test matches for India and has 238 wickets to his name in that period. He also has seven 5-wicket hauls and has taken 10 wickets in a match once. At just 28, Ishant has a lot of cricket still left in the tank and will continue to win matches for India.
