Ishant Sharma was once derided as epitomising India's woes in producing world class pace bowlers. Now, he is emblematic of their world conquering pace attack.
One crucial event that Ishant himself has deemed the "the turning point" of his career was the 48th over of the 3rd ODI between India and Australia in 2013 that he bowled to James Faulkner. With India needing to defend 44 runs off 18 balls, Ishant conceded 30 runs in an over that included 4 sixes. “The turning point of my life came in 2013. Faulkner hit me for 30 runs in one over in an ODI in Mohali that Australia went on to win. At that time I felt I had betrayed myself and my country. For two-three weeks, I cried a lot. Those three weeks were like a nightmare. I stopped eating. I couldn’t sleep or do anything else." “I laugh about it now and I consider it a blessing in disguise. After the Faulkner incident, I went through major changes in my life. After 2013, I started taking things seriously. Before that, if I had a bad performance, people would come and tell me ‘It’s okay, it happens.’ But after 2013, if someone came to me and said that, I wouldn’t listen. If I have made a mistake, I have made a mistake. I started taking responsibility for my actions. When you do that, you play every match to win it for the team.” Sources: www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-ishant-sharma-over-that-changed-the-game-680621 www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/felt-like-i-betrayed-my-country-called-my-girlfriend-and-cried-a-lot-ishant-sharma-recalls-conceding-30-runs-to-james-faulkner/story-Igg7el6MPgpLyCw6nY04vL.html
Hey mate I'm a regular viewer of your videos. I would like you to make a video on why Michael Neser should be playing test cricket. If you can and have the time, cheers.
