Ishant Sharma joins 200 wickets club
Sharma who under-performed in the first two Test matches came back strong to pick 5 wickets in the first innings of the last Test match to hand his side a much needed and crucial lead of 111 runs.
He backed up performance with a 3-wicket hall in the ensuing innings that included the prized scalp of Sri lankan skipper Angelo Mathews who scored a prolific 110 and threatened to deny a victory to the visitors.
Sharma now has 200 Test wickets in 65 matches along with 106 in the 50 overs format and 8 in the International T20 games.
