IND vs AUS: Ishant Sharma's Absence Throws A Problem For India, Experienced Umesh Yadav Likely
Ishant Sharma, who could have become only the second Indian after Sachin Tendulkar to tour Australia five times, will be missed not just because of his experience but because of the kind of wickets he has taken Down Under on those five tours.
The right-arm pace bowler, who was a part of India's fast bowling trio that picked over 68 percent of Australia's wickets on the last tour, was ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in October with an abdominal muscle tear. Now, he has also been ruled out of India's tour of Australia, dealing a blow to the successful Indian attack from 2018-19, that will have to search for the third pace bowling option from among Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Navdeep Saini.
