How A Single Delivery Changed Ishant Sharma's Test Career

[@sanky239]

Finally someone gave Ishant the due credit. Sometimes you give everything and yet not get much in return. The fact that he persisted so many years, shows he is a fighter. It’s a shame that the world’s strongest cricketing board could not even identify the issue with Ishant. A very humble end to his career, although I believe could have been glorious.

This is why a good coach is very important, they wont force you into an uncomfortable position, they use your strengths

[@asheritty7815]

I think everything changed when he got the in swing going in 2016. Man bun Ishant Sharma was quite a treat to watch. Adjusting his run up, his wrist position also helped him hit higher speeds when he could. I remember him hitting 140+ a bit more consistently whenever he could. I have a lot of respect for him no matter what the statistics say.

[@yuhanchen1386]

Jason Gillespie was the perfect man to effect this change. He was also a tall fast bowler, and at his best, his stock length with the new ball was extremely full, almost half volley length, but he was able to produce enough movement with the ball that attempts to drive him off that fuller length would often result in nicks, so he certainly knew a thing or two about bowling a fuller length effectively

[@cricketbyjb]

spot on!

[@Dr_h_49]

Ishant was the bowler that build up pressure that help your fav bowler to pick up wicket

[@rakshitnanda2754]

Ishant is a player who isn't remembered for his long career rather I remember him for his specific moments and contributions like the champions trophy final in 2013 , that lords match , his spell against Ricky Ponting and his 2nd half career as mentioned in videos .

[@travellereuphoria9954]

There was no one to guide and mentor Umesh yadav. He had pace but not consistent in delivering the balls

[@Letscookmrwhi3]

That should be the popular opinion

[@rohitranjan2767]

if a player wastes 10 years at international level, he has a very below avg career and should have been dropped way before

Very good analysis 👌🏼,i just subscribed you as soon as the video ended. Keep it up!

[@srikanthan1000]

Almost the same thing with Umesh Yadav. Ishant and Umesh would always be unfortunate bowlers . A little bit of mentoring and they could have been outstanding bowlers . Instead like a lot of Indian fast bowlers of that era they never quite fulfilled their promise . Sreesanth , Munaf and Zaheer were also the same . Plenty of potential but fell by the wayside. Zaheer managed to correct his flaws towards the end of his career when he again became lethal but if someone had mentored him he would have found his touch sooner . There was another unlucky bowler called Lakshmipathy Balaji who lost his career to injury. So many bowlers who could have been much greater .

This was really impressive. It is very rare to see these many stats and details presented on a YT video. If I had not watched this video I would never imaging ishant sharma's career being so important. We should give due credit to ishant sharma, he stayed in the cricket for so many years and we never realise it. This video increased my respect towards Ishant Sharma.

[@SaurabhGhule-u3b]

I am a huge fan of Ishant and first time I listened this Gillespie story thoroughly…was knowing a bit but not completely. Thank you for covering it. Also one point I think is Ishant has played many matches in India where fast bowlers don’t get much to bowl at.

I think Ishant's also maybe finally feeling the effects of so many years of cricket. He's mentioned recently that his body is starting to fail him sometimes, so that may be another reason why he's been dropped or just voluntarily stepped down

[@bobagorof]

Gillespie would absolutely be the right person to advise Ishant Sharma about this issue, himself being a tall lanky fast bowler who throughout his career would often build pressure but not get the nick. Of course, Gillespie still managed to be a massive threat and take wickets so he knows how to remedy that problem.

[@Navaneethan-f7x]

I can see some changes in Siraj bowling as well, he used to bowl scrambled seam deliveries to get wickets. Nowadays it's missing and that might be the reason for him to get less or no wickets.

[@tapashinaha9632]

Its not only ishant, i feel like umesh yadav was also a very good fast bowler, its just that he couldnt do justice to his talent!!

[@codingwithanonymous890]

[@babblupallala906]

Dhoni use ishanth only part time blower for that time. So that is the Reason for not getting wickets for ishanth. He is brilliant blower

[@travellereuphoria9954]

So when he started bowling good, he is not getting selected in the team

[@souravmitra071187]

The impact of Ishant Sharma cannot be measured by the figures.

[@yogidunique7013]

The moral of the story, you need good coaches who will not change your natural action but guide you a better technique. If we get the improvement in bowler with the guidance of quality guidance of Gillespie. He should be hired to improve indian international, Ranji bowlers. Please share with the late current BCCI and the lazy team captain. Its duty of captain to sit and find best arsenal to win him the matches. Here needs to hire a bowling coach like Gillespie

I have a question, was Ishant that unique of a bowler considering the selectors would've changed him after 4 years of career? He isn't the first preference clearly but were India really badly lacking in fast bowlers then to replace him?

Surprised to see the video focus so much on Bowler’s Average instead of Strike Rate which is more important for Bowlers in Tests. Bowler’s Average = Runs per wicket Bowler’s Strike Rate = Balls per wicket Imagine how much more sense the video would have made had it focused on Strike rate.

[@cricketbyjb]

Ohh noo. Agree a 100%. We've talked about the strike rates too but we focused on the average only because that's what is usually talked about when comparing test bowlers. So we wanted to stick to it because it's a little more relatable. And the reason usually is that you don't want to be leaking runs while taking wickets. Bowlers strike rate over the years remaining about the same as compared to the average of a bowler (usually) But you're absolutely spot on.

[@MikoKohmaria]

@@cricketbyjbThey say, test match is all about taking 20 wickets. Another way to look at it - when talking about fast bowlers, would you want those who bowl maiden overs in opening spells (maybe low average)? Or would you want those who pick early wickets (maybe low strike rate)? Early wickets (and low strike rate) not only helps the bowler’s cause, but also his fellow bowlers and team’s cause. Average on the other hand, may or may not.
