Virat Kohli shakes hands with Roston Chase after the latter scored a brilliant century to save the match for West Indies
#11 Ishant Sharma

The most experienced bowler in the Indian bowling line-up Ishant Sharma has been consistent with the ball in the series so far. Though he doesn’t have too many wickets to show but his immaculate line and length have kept the Windies under check. Ishant will try and add to his wickets tally in the 3rd Test.
Making his Test debut way back in 2007, Ishant hasn’t been consistent enough at the highest level but has bowled some memorable spells in test cricket. On his day he can make the ball talk and unsettle any batting order. His spell to Ricky Ponting at Perth is still fresh in everyone’s memory.

He also propelled India to a historic victory at Lord’s picking 7 wickets in the 2nd innings.

Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
