Ishant Sharma: India’s Mystery Man

One caught-Dhoni-bowled-Ishant dismissal would have symbolised the plan that had worked so wonderfully. Ishant bowled a short one down the leg side, not the ideal line, but Stuart Broad sent it flying into the skipper’s gloves. At 216 for 9 and with a seven-for, Ishant had delivered his career best performance and taken India to a situation from where a victory was inevitable. After Ravindra Jadeja hit the stumps, catching James Anderson out of the crease, it was all over for England.
