England v India: Specsavers 3rd Test - Day Two
Ishant Sharma had a great tour

After the South Africa tour, many experts and fans felt that this was the best Indian pace bowling combination to tour UK and they were proven right.

Time and again, the pace bowlers brought India back into the contest. It was a welcome sign for all fans of Indian cricket to see the opposition batsmen dance to the tunes, be it swing or seam.

Even though Ishant Sharma has been around for a long time now in international cricket, this was the best he has bowled.

The tall pace bowler was consistent in his line and more importantly the length because over the years Ishant had this problem of bowling it a little bit short.

Jasprit Bumrah, who had to miss the first couple of Tests, showed that he is not a one series wonder and is an equally potent bowler in red ball cricket as he is with the white ball. The slinging action makes it a little difficult for the batsmen as he is way quicker than most people think.

Mohammad Shami, after having to encounter few personal and fitness issues was India’s third seamer and he didn’t disappoint. Shami was probably the unluckiest bowler of the series after beating the bat on numerous occasions without getting the edge.

Ishant, Bumrah and Shami, along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar will give some tough time for Aussie batsmen during the Four-Test series later this year.
