Ishant Sharma is not really the reason India dropped the Test match: Nehra
Although Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, according to Ashish Nehra, bowl the occasional no-ball, exactly like Ishant. Ishant Sharma is not really the reason India dropped the Test match, according to Nehra, who admitted that Sharma was not in his greatest form at Headingley.
Sharma lost the first Test match suffering discomfort, but the experienced right-arm bowler was back in the rhythm in the 2nd Test match at Lord’s Cricket Ground, according to Nehra. Hardly time can tell when Ravichandran Ashwin would replace Ishant Sharma for the 4th match, according to the former Indian cricketer.
“Ishant is someone who bowls a no-ball here and there so do Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja. Yes, according to me, Ishant Sharma wasn’t looking in the best of the rhythms. We lost that Test match so we are discussing that more. Ishant’s rhythm was not the reason we lost it”.
“But don’t forget he missed the first game because of a niggle. In the second, it took him a while but because of experience of playing more than 100 Tests, he got back to his groove quickly and had a good Lord’s Test. Because of conditions in Oval, we might want Ashwin to get a game in place of a fast bowler, whether it is in place of Ishant or Siraj, only time will tell,” concluded Ashish Nehra.
