Indian Bowlers on Lord's Honor Board

14# Ishant Sharma

In the same test match, India set the target of 319 runs for England. After Bhuvi's 5 wicket haul in the first inning, it was now the job of other bowlers to also set up to the occasion and win the game for the team.

After suffering initial jolts, England steadied itself. Joe Root and Moen Ali looked firm at 174-4 until Ishant Sharma broke the partnership just before lunch. After lunch, it was clear for Ishant Sharma to target batsmen with bouncers. He didn't disappoint his captain and perhaps bowled the best spell of his career. He dismissed Matt Prior, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Stuart Board to turn the tables in India's favor.

India won its second test at Lord's after 28 years and Ishant Sharma's 7/74 got inscribed on the Honors Board as the best figures by an Indian Bowler at Lord's.
