WATCH: Ishant Sharma praises Delhi Capitals teammate Rishabh Pant, says he is toughest to bowl to in nets

While the Indian Premier League (IPL) is postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 crisis, franchises are keeping fans entertained. 

This time talking about team members, Delhi Capitals' bowler Ishant Sharma hailed wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant.

India pacer Ishant Sharma said that he is the toughest to bowl to in the nets and does not know where he is hitting the ball.

“I think, to be honest, everyone is fine except Rishabh Pant. Because he doesn’t know where he is hitting. He might hit straight on your head as well,” Ishant Sharma said.

The bowler also spoke about overseas success and said it is ‘healthy competition’ and Ishant felt everyone deserves the credit.

“Everybody should take credit. If you don’t take 20 wickets, you can win a Test match. I think it’s been a healthy competition with the bowlers of the Indian cricket team,” Ishant said.

Speaking of the advantages he enjoyed for being a tall bowler, he said, “The advantage (of his height) is that I get a lot of bounce when bowling. However, one of the disadvantages is that I get hit on my head whenever I am riding a car and there’s a bump on the road.”
