Ishant Sharma shot into the limelight in international cricket after producing one of the most talked about bowling spells in Test cricket where he troubled former Australia captain Ricky Ponting in the second innings of the Pert Test back in 2008.

Cricket Australia tweeted a video of that spell from 2008.

"Can you believe this spell was 13 years ago? Exploding head @ImIshant turns 33 today," tweeted cricket.com.au.
