Tendulkar lauds Ishant ahead of fast bowler's 100th Test
AHMEDABAD: Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday lauded Ishant Sharma ahead of his 100th Test, and said playing that many matches of the game's most challenging format is a great landmark for any cricketer, most of all for a fast bowler. Ishant, 32, is only the second Indian fast bowler after the great Kapil Dev to feature in 100 Test matches. "Playing 100 Tests is a great landmark for any cricketer, especially a fast bowler. Have seen you play from your U-19 days & played alongside you in your 1st Test. Proud of you & your service to #TeamIndia," Tendulkar tweeted. "Continue to serve in the best possible manner. Congrats," the master batsman added.
