The gangly Indian pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566, has expressed satisfaction over his performance in the Test series against West Indies, saying that he is delighted to claim his career-best figures on the Caribbean tour.
Grabbing 22 wickets in three matches, Sharma emerged as the best bowler for India, winning the Man-of-the-Series award. After being kept out of the international stage for a while following his fitness problems, the Delhi-born bowler recently earned a place
in the national side in the lieu of his impressive performance in the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
With the non-availability of Zaheer Khan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s pace attack was considered to be on the weaker side for the slow Caribbean tracks, but Sharma utilised his pace and variations outstandingly to produce a classic performance. His best performance
in the Test series came in the second game when he claimed 10 wickets in the clash.
Enormously delighted over playing a pivotal role in his team’s comprehensive 1-0 victory in the Test series, Sharma said, "This is my first series where I took the highest wickets. It's kind of an Indian track, slow and flat, but you have to put in the effort
as these things are beyond your control.”
