puneet28 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Ishant, however, feels that it's a "perception" surrounding him that he is only a Test bowler. The 30-year-old is banking on a good performance in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) to break into India's ODI set-up and also earn a place in the World Cup squad as the fourth pacer. "I'm a positive guy and always think something good is going to happen. I have opportunities to avail in this IPL. The Indian team is still looking for a fourth seamer. Hopefully, I am the fourth seamer in that World Cup team," Ishant said during an open media session of IPL franchise Delhi Capitals https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/icc-world-cup/ishant-sharma-eyes-fourth-pacers-slot-in-indias-world-cup-squad/articleshow/68458629.cms Too many media interactions for number 4 batsman and fourth bowler by dusted players Ridgepi 1
Popular Post The Realist Posted March 21, 2019 Popular Post Posted March 21, 2019 Would rather pick the dude on the right as more likely to take a wicket and not bleed runs Mosher, DHONI_FANN, vvvslaxman and 23 others 1 24 1
Real McCoy Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 First Ashwin and now this guy. Ishant "unlucky" Sharma thinks he is a test bowler. I have mixed emotions of laughter and anger. He is the worst bowler to have played 50+ tests. He is soon to become the only 100+ test bowler with the worst stats. If it wasn't for his boyfriend who is also a captain, he would've been banished years ago. I also recollect him throwing a hissy fit when Dhoni wanted to drop him. So Dhoni kept picking him to show that he's not biased. He gave him a long rope to hang himself. But with Kohli becoming captain, he thinks his place in the test team is secured. Now he wants to get into the ODI squad as well . My memories of him playing in the IPL is him getting struck for a hat trick of sixes by Anirudha Srikkanth sriniwu, rahulrulezz, saik and 2 others 3 1 1
ipl is fun Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Will he first play for DC? I guess Rahane started this after Ambati messed it up. Waiting for UV/Raina to talk about it.

Suhaan Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I think he's got some hint ,which allows him to make such statements, He does know there are two-three free loaders already there in that stale middle order ,why not him having a royal time pass there,lets start the rot in bowling too!
Turning_track Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Its crazy to think how few of these players who haven't been in the limited overs side for quite some time now are giving these statements one after the other. Ishant Sharma has been out of ODI team since Jan 2016. May be him not being part of any Indian WC squad in his career is kicking him inside & making him eye for the 4th seamer spot.

Except the Rahane one, all the others are justified. Vihari, Pant, Iyer are candidates for #4 considering the current options we have. Ashwin was phenomenal in the previous 2 WCs and has pedigree even in white ball cricket. Ishant isn't the worst option as 4th seamer considering MSK will most likely pick Kaul or Unadkat for that role. Edited March 21, 2019 by Gollum
DHONI_FANN Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Ishant over Umesh anyday if we are talking about 4th pacer. Dude has helped us win CT in England. So I will definitely take him as 4th pacer
Laaloo Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 8 hours ago, rkt.india said: he debuted as an 18 year old in 2007 Yeah still remember his offer against Pakistan BrantFUGH 1
Nikola Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 He isn't that bad specially if compared with Kaul or Khaleel or even Umesh. He was wicket taker in odis only issue was his death bowling. If he is picked as 4th seamer then he will only play when conditions are overcast and i guess he will be most lethal option + he won't have to bowl in death as we will have other 2 pacer with him. If you use him properly he is good option + he is consistent as well. Gollum 1
Vilander Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 "where is a fast bower who moves both ways at high pace, we need a backup fourth bowler desperately, Umesh is shyt? .." Look Here you Muppet dang..we forgot to include him Gotta Look cool as National selector, bye asterix and vishalvirsingh 1 1
Suhaan Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 They say they can play Shankar at 2 to surprise opponents ,why not fly in Saini and let him bowl at high pace upfront vishalvirsingh and express bowling 2
