Of late, Ishant has become Test regular for team India. It has been 18 months since the tall lanky bowler has played ODI cricket and his last T20 game for India came more than four years ago.
Even in this year’s Indian Premier League, Ishant went unsold in the auction but somehow managed to grab contract after Kings XI Punjab decided to sign him. He had a forgettable IPL season as he went wicketless in the 6 appearances he managed for his franchise last season.
Currently, The Ishant has played 77 Test matches, in which he has managed to get 218 wickets to his name including 7 five-wicket hauls and a solitary ten-wicket match haul.
