With the opening batsman’s wicket, Ishant equalled South African paceman Morne Morkel's record to dismiss Cook most number of times in Test cricket. Cook has been sent back to the pavilion 12 times each by the duo
Virat Kohli and his men have outperformed England in the ongoing third Test in Nottingham. On the fourth day, Ishant Sharma put up a good performance but it was the dismissal of Alastair Cook that was the sweetest.
With the opening batsman’s wicket, Ishant equalled South African paceman Morne Morkel's record to dismiss Cook most number of times in Test cricket. Cook has been sent back to the pavilion 12 times each by the duo.
Ishant seems to be at his best against England as he has 49 victims to his name against them, closely followed by Australia with 48 and Sri Lanka at 36.
The delivery to Cook was a beauty from round the wicket. After pitching, the ball held its line to induce an outside edge which was caught by KL Rahul at third slip.
India are on the verge of victory, needing just one wicket on the fifth and final day at Trent Bridge. Chasing an improbable 521, the hosts were 311/9 at close of play on the fourth day, Tuesday.
