Ishant troubles Australian great
In his early cricketing days, Ishant Sharma made a memorable mark by consistently troubling former Australian captain Ricky Ponting with his length and pace. During a Test match’s second innings, Ishant bowled nine intense overs, causing Ponting numerous close calls and confident LBW appeals.
Eventually, Rahul Dravid caught Ponting off Ishant’s delivery when he was at 45 runs off 71 balls. This exceptional spell became a highlight of Ishant’s Test cricket career and earned him accolades, even from former Australia captain Steve Waugh. At just 19 years old, Ishant showed his incredible potential as a fast bowler during this unforgettable performance in Perth. During his fourth Test match for India, Ishant showed remarkable talent and consistently posed challenges for Ricky Ponting, who struggled to counter the young bowler’s brilliance.
