The 2000th Test - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s victory in Lord’s Test – Cricket News Update
Ishant Sharma, the young Indian pacer, is optimistic about his team’s victory in the 1st Test of the series of four matches against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 at Lord’s, irrespective of the fact that they need another 378 runs with 9 wickets in hand before resorting
to play on Day 5. The bowler bagged a 4-wicket haul in the second innings of the home team.
Remaining wicketless in the first innings, Ishant flexed his muscles to pick four key wickets of the English for 59 runs on Day 4 of the game. He dismissed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032 in a row.
Team England declared their second innings on 269 runs for 6 wickets and India started their second innings to meet a mammoth target yesterday.
Before the end of the play on Day 4, the Indians had 80 runs for the loss of one wicket. The last day of the game is going to be rather tough for the Men in Blue and analysts are predicting a possible defeat.
Despite all these odds, Ishant thinks that the World’s No 1 Test team can win the game. However, his notion seems silly to some cricket experts.
In his words with the media, Ishant said, “The way they (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772) are batting I don't think we will need the others to bat tomorrow (Monday).”
In their second innings today, the tourists are likely to miss one of their key batsmen, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556,
who pose to be No. 3 and No. 1 top scorers of Test cricket respectively.
Ishant expects the legendry duo to bat well today and change the game. The pacer is an emerging young talent of Team India. He bowled marvellously and grabbed a 10-wicket haul in a Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 last month.
Sharma’s IPL career has proved to be landmark in enhancing his professional capabilities. Ishant has represented Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders in the 20-over showpiece domestic tournament of India.
The tall pacer is at the forefront of the crop of young Indian players who have started from IPL and are expected to take national responsibilities in the future.
