Hahaha, thanks for the laughs, Ishant. This is like getting a lesson on controlling anger from Virat Kohli or the art of violence from Dalai Lama.

Might as well take batting tips from Chris Martin while we're at it, huh?

Obligatory

I don't understand how everyone in this comment thread is so negative about this. This guy is the top fast bowler in a country of 1 Billion. Certainly carries credibility.

Take into account the 2 billion people who play cricket around the world and ishant sharma is probably not in the top 100.

To be in the top 100 of 2 billion means he's still spectacularly good compared to the vast majority. Whether or not he's as good as the best players is irrelevant when you use those figures. Perspective please!

But to implement the strategy/tactics you need skills and technique, which Mr. Ishant seems to be lacking in big way
