Whenever someone talks about India’s decorated pace attack, one of the few names to pop out are Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. However, while glorifying the aforementioned players, one often forgets the cricketer who has been there with the Indian team since 2007. Ishant Sharma deserves the same amount of love and admiration, if not more, as Bumrah, Shami, and Bhuvneshwar.

The 32-year-old has played a key role in making India’s pace attack the best in the world especially in the purest format of the game. Ishant has played a whopping 101 Test matches for India picking 303 wickets at an economy rate of 3.17 and an average of 32.3.

The Delhi stalwart also has impressive numbers under his belt in One Day Internationals but his ODI career came to an abrupt halt to the emergence of young pacers. In 80 ODIs, Sharma has scalped 115 wickets at an economy rate of 5.72 and an average of 31.
