5 worst bowling performances of Ishant Sharma
The bowler who turns 26 today is the favourite cricketer for fans to brag fun at in social media even when he does well. His contrasting performances in the field have left fans in two minds whether to support him or to blast him. While he remains the pace spearhead for India in Tests currently, let us take a look at some of his worst performances:
#6 Special Mention: 0/66 (4) Hyderbad, 2013
In the IPL encounter against the powerful Chennai Super Kings, the bowler who has become more of a ‘Test specialist’ by that time, was found wanting against controlled aggression from the opposition. Opener Murali Vijay carted the seamer for three consecutive sixes and Michael Hussey took on the bowler too.
When Suresh Raina pocketed 25 runs (including extras) in the 17th over, Ishant recorded the most expensive bowling figures in IPL history.
