Ishant doesn’t just have to look like a fast bowler to bowl like one. Beyond the flying hair and the Emirate on his chin, for me, it’s the Baba like calm in those eyes that sort him out. What we see when he bats to save the world. But it’s the whole package, and more so the peripherals that endure him to us.*Possibly, that’s what makes it so hard for us to let go of Ishant – that, and the recurring memory of the spell at Ponting in Perth.

World Cup 2011 - India Meets First Tough Opposition

After the thumping of Bangladesh in Mirpur, India face their first tough opposition in this edition of the World Cup. Castrol Cricket rates them very closely - 171-169 but there are many other factors that will impact the match otherwise.
