England v India: Specsavers 1st Test - Day Three
Ishant Sharma took 5/51 in the second innings of the first test

Ishant Sharma has been in and around this Indian team for about 11 years now. He had only shown glimpses of his abilities on some overseas tour but wasn't consistent enough. But on this tour, he was India's best bowler.

Ishant was one of the best bowlers in the series. He was consistent throughout the series. He was troubling the English batsmen with his line, length, and swing.

Ishant picked up 18 wickets in the 5 match series and was the top wicket-taker for India and was second in the series behind Anderson. His fiery spell of 13-0-51-5 at Birmingham almost gave India the victory. He ripped apart England's middle order in the second innings of the test match.
