Watch: Ishant Sharma Gets Two-In-Two As He Sends Moeen Ali And Sam Curran Packing
Updated - 15 Aug 2021, 12:29 AM
There have been a lot of questions surrounding Ishant Sharma’s selection for the second Test over Ravichandran Ashwin but it’s fair to say that the veteran seamer seems to have silenced them for now with his on-field performance.
After having dismissed Jos Buttler with perfect full-length delivery, one that breached the gap between the batsman’s bat and pad to knock the top of off-stump, the veteran pacer claimed two-in-two in the third season to give India a breathing space.
It all happened during the fourth ball of the 111th over of England’s innings when Ishant Sharma, bowling from round the wicket, lulled Moeen Ali into nicking him to Virat Kohli at first slip.
The ball was dying on Virat but he ensured that he had his hands underneath the ball. The on-field soft signal was out and it was vindicated by the third umpire.
Post Ishant’s double strike, Mohammed Siraj bowled a sensational spell against Ollie Robinson where he constantly brought the ball back into the tall batsman to wrap him on his pads.
After a series of unsuccessful appeals, Siraj finally got his man trapped in front and although Robinson challenged the call, Umpire’s Call meant he had to go.
