Ishant Sharma Becomes First Indian To Take 5 Wickets Haul In Pink-Ball Test, As B’desh Bowled Out For 106
Mumbai: India pacer Ishant Sharma bagged his first five-wicket haul in 12 years at home in Tests against Bangladesh in the historic Day-Night Test in Kolkata. The last time he got a fifer in India was in 2007 against Pakistan in his second test match in Bangalore where he ended up with figures of 5-118.
Ishant Sharma who has rediscovered himself by changing his length just before the start of 2018 and then he picked wickets in South Africa, England, West Indies, Australia and India. He has become the most experienced bowler in the Indian fast bowling group.
Bangladesh bowled out for 106. all the 10 wickets were picked by fast bowlers. 5 for Ishant. 3 for Umesh and 2 For Shami. Just a few years ago we couldn’t even imagine 10 wickets picked by fast bowlers that too in India. The bowling was soo good that India’s leading spinner Ashwin didn’t get a single over to the bowl. Top scorer for Bangladesh was Liton Das who scored 24 and later he was retired hurt due to a bouncer from Shami struck on his helmet.
India lost Mayank Agarwal for 14. Al Amin put down the catch of Rohit Sharma on the boundary. Now how much they need to pay for this dropped catch will be the matter to see. India is 32/1 at the tea break.
