'I Cried For Almost A Month. Mahi Bhai Came To My Room...': Ishant Sharma Reveals Lowest Point Of His Career

Speaking on Cricbuzz's 'Rise of New India' show, Ishant Sharma revealed that he cried for almost a month after India's heartbreaking loss to Australia.

Team India's veteran bowler Ishant Sharma talked about the moment of misfortune which he considers as the lowest point of his career. Ishant recalled the ODI match between India and Australian in 2013 at Mohali, when all-rounder James Faulkner hit a boundary and four sixes off his over, a total of 30 runs in 6 balls.

In that match, Australia needed 44 runs in last three overs for the win. Australia's hopes relied on well-set Adam Voges, who was batting on 71 in the middle, but it was James Faulkner instead whose fiery six-hitting cameo helped Australia chase down the target to seal a thrilling win, with three balls remaining. 

Ishant's 30-run over was the turning point of that match. Speaking on Cricbuzz's 'Rise of New India' show, the senior Indian speedster revealed that he cried for almost a month after India's heartbreaking loss to Australia.

"My lowest moment was that 2013 match in Mohali against Australia. I don't know if I could ever have moment worse than that because I was...I don't know. It was very tough for me. And it wasn't because I gave away a lot of runs. The thing that hurt me the most was I was the reason behind the team's loss. I was dating my wife at that time and I just spoke to her and I think I just cried for almost a month. I used to call her everyday and cry over the phone saying that team lost because of me,” Ishant said.

Ishant said it was skipper MS Dhoni and Shikhar Dhawan who came to his room after the match to motivate him to do better in future. He also said that one match compelled fans and cricket pundits to think that Ishant is not a white-ball player.

"The good thing that happened was Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni) came to my room and Shikhar (Dhawan), who was playing that game, also came and said, 'Look you have been doing well (Dekh, tu acha khel raha hai).' Because of that one match there became a perception that I am not a white-ball bowler,” he added.
