England vs India 2018: Modern India-England Combined Test XI 

#10 Ishant Sharma

England v India: Specsavers 1st Test - Day Three

Ishant Sharma has had a decent series against England this summer. He has had a tough time over the years to make the spearhead position his own. But, there has been a stark and important change in Ishant's bowling arsenal.

Ever since his county stint under coach Jason Gillespie, he has started to swing and seam the ball around prodigiously. Ishant Sharma was always a hit-the-deck hard kind of a bowler, but this new look Ishant has completely changed the results of the series in India's favour.

The fifer that eventually came in a losing cause showed to the world what this new and improved Ishant possesses. He has not only bowled with accurate line and length but also with a metronomic consistency pitching it up regularly thus troubling the batsman.
