About Ishant Sharma
Ishant Sharma is one of India’s most experienced fast bowlers, a tall, tireless seamer who played more than 100 Test matches for his country. Born in Delhi in 1988, he stands 6 feet 4 inches and is known for steep bounce, accuracy and the ability to bowl long spells. He has been part of some of India’s most famous overseas victories, and he received the Arjuna Award in 2020.
Career highlights
Ishant made his name with a fiery spell against Ricky Ponting in Australia in 2008, when he was still a teenager, and became the fifth-youngest bowler to take 100 Test wickets in 2011. Although regarded as a rhythm bowler, he has regularly bowled faster than 150 km/h.
He was a member of the Indian team that won the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. In February 2021 he took his 300th Test wicket, joining a small group of Indian fast bowlers to reach the milestone. He played domestic cricket for Delhi and has appeared for several IPL franchises.
What audiences love about Ishant
Fans appreciate Ishant’s longevity and commitment. He reinvented himself over his career, becoming a more skilful, disciplined bowler in his later years and a mentor to younger fast bowlers. His friendly personality and humour off the field have also made him popular with teammates and fans alike.
His long spells in difficult conditions, often doing the hard, unglamorous work so that others could take wickets, earned him the respect of captains and coaches throughout his career.
His 7 for 74 against England at Lord’s in 2014, which bowled India to a famous Test win, is often cited as the high point of his career and remains one of the best spells by an Indian fast bowler in England. He has also played county cricket in England, which helped him refine his skills in seaming conditions.
