Ever since his Test match debut, Ishant Sharma has been one of the most reliable and consistent members of the Indian Test team. Up until the last few years, the tall right arm pacer had been the leader of the Indian pace attack and toiled away endlessly for the team even if conditions didn't suit his bowling. His aggression, bounce and pace gave India's bowling attack some variety and he will go down as one of India's finest fast bowlers, as his numbers certainly suggest the same.
