Watch - Ishant Sharma Dismisses Australia Skipper Tim Paine

Ever since Ishant Sharma made Ricky Ponting his bunny, he has always been the cynosure of the eyes on the Australian tours. Meanwhile, his stunning delivery to Tim Paine is grabbing the headlines across the cricketing world. Moreover, it has been a sensational day for India so far in Adelaide. The bowling section is doing the trick for team India, who rattled the defence of the Australians with ease. In one of those, the wicket of Tim Paine is special, as Ishant Sharma delivered an absolute peach of the delivery to dismiss him.

Ishant gets the better off Paine

However, it was in the 63rd over of the game when Ishant Sharma set the Australian skipper beautifully. The lanky fast bowler delivered a wobbling seam delivery, which took the edge of Tim Paine to land in the gloves of Rishabh Pant.

The celebrations after the wicket by him perfectly summed up the story. Meanwhile, it was also the 50th Test wicket for Sharma against Australia. In fact, Ishant Sharma delivered in right areas in the first over of the game when he cleaned up Aaron Finch. Then it was the turn of Ravichandran Ashwin, who injected a triple-wicket spell into the game to make things turn in India’s way.

Later, Bumrah sent Peter Handscomb, who was looking in a fine nick and then Ishant rattling Tim Paine defense took place. The wicket kept Indians on top of the game, as they are only four wickets away to start their 2nd Innings.

Earlier in the Test match, Cheteshwar Pujara knocked one of the all-time best centuries to put 250 runs on the board for India. If not Pujara’s 123, the Indians would have been in all kinds of sorts.

Quality bowling from Ishant Sharma.
