Analysing the averages of India's bowling attack 

#2 Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma has been very good in the last few years for India

Ishant Sharma may not have played a lot of matches in the home season, but in the few matches that he did, he looked very good with the ball.

The most experienced bowler of the lot, the Delhi cricketer averages 34.37 in 31 Tests with 77 wickets at home and 37.56 away with 146 wickets in 47 Tests.

The key difference in the past two years has been his control. No half-volleys early on. No bowling against the field. Just accurate, testing stuff.

It is not yet clear whether he will get a chance to play abroad, with India looking to pick Hardik Pandya, but if he does get his chance, one can be sure he would provide Kohli with the control he is looking for.
