India's young fast bowler Ishant Sharma, who picked up a career best six for 55 against the West Indies on the third day of the second cricket Test, said sticking to strengths was key to his success. The 22-year-old Delhi boy has suffered several ups and down in his five-year-old international career. On Thursday, his resilience finally paid off as he bowled out the West Indies for 190 on a lively track at the Kensington Oval.

He also became the fifth youngest bowler to pick up his 100th Test wicket in just his 33rd Test appearance.
"Everyone wants to be a Test cricketer. Especially as a bowler because if you don't bowl well in the first spell, you still get a chance to come back for a second spell or a third spell.

"I lost my pace and I lost my rhythm but now I've learnt to stick to whatever your strength is," he said.
