ProfileWith
a physique and attitude that is reminiscent of a young Javagal Srinath,
Ishant Sharma shot into prominence during the 2007-08 Test series in
Australia. Standing at 6'4", his rhythmic, high-arm action allowed him
to bowl at around 135-140 kph. For one who started serious cricket at
14, his rise was rapid and he made his Ranji Trophy debut at 18. An
injury to Munaf Patel provided him an opening during India's tour of
Bangladesh in May 2007 but it was in Australia where he caught the
attention, prompting Steve Waugh to call him the next best thing in
Indian cricket. He showed he could move the ball both ways and his
probing spell in the second innings in Perth, where he set-up Ricky
Ponting, was the stuff of folklore.
