    Quotes

    Ishant Sharma
    • People say I’m a genuine fast bowler, perhaps the first to come out from India ... I don't know how true that is, because we have produced great bowlers, but I’m very proud of being tagged ‘fast’. I’m not going to give it up ever. Even in Sri Lanka, I tried to bowl fast. Yes, I erred in length, but I will never compromise on speed. - Unknown
