At six feet four inches, Ishant Sharma stands pretty tall and so does his balling finesse. Innocent looking Ishant’s balling spells nightmares for foreign batsmen. He has earned the title of India’s fastest bowler balling at a speed of 152km per hour. This might be one of the reasons as to how Sharma has taken the team owner and Bollywood king Shah rukh Khan to spend $9,50,000 to take the former into the team. This is the highest price being paid to a bowler in the entire IPL tournament.
