The current scenario in the Indian team’s dressing room is one that will please the supporters. There is a great bonding between the players, with some friendly banter. The banter is sometimes carried out in social media as well when Indian cricketers troll their teammates for something that they have uploaded online.
A similar thing happened when pacer Ishant Sharma uploaded his picture on social networking site Instagram. While there was nothing wrong with the picture itself, the caption of the picture caught the attention of the Indian skipper. Sharma opted for a very cliched and over-used caption in “you only live once.”
Virat Kohli decided to take a dig at Sharma, and mercilessly trolled the speedster by typing “hamein toh pata hi nahi tha.” Recently, Ravindra Jadeja has taken a dig at Umesh Yadav for his video of weight lifting. Rohit Sharma has previously trolled Yuzvendra Chahal for playing golf, making fun of his weight.

Sharma reveals how Jason Gillespie helped him
Ishant Sharma has been playing well recently, and the pacer has revealed that former Australian pacer Jason Gillespie has helped him a lot in getting his line and length right. “A lot of people would tell me that I need to increase the pace of my fuller deliveries. No one told me how to do that? Now I realized it myself how I could increase the speed of my pitched up deliveries. Now when I went to play county cricket, Jason Gillespie told me the solution,” said Ishant, as per quotes in Gulf News.
“He told me that in order to increase the pace in my fuller deliveries, you don’t just release it but hit the deck so that it should target the knee roll. Like first, I would put cones during nets. But that’s okay for a youngster, who wants to get his area right but for someone like me, I need to see where my ball is finishing rather than where it’s pitched. The Practice is almost the same but the outcome is different. Gillespie’s instructions ensured that my fuller delivery is faster now,” he further added.
