Experienced seamer Ishant Sharma is too erratic and has failed to lead the country’s pace bowling attack, feels former Indian cricket team pacer Raju Kulkarni. “He (Ishant Sharma) has played 78 (79) Test matches, to play 78 (79) Test matches for India is amazing. But I don’t think he has ever led from the front and that has been a problem with him,” Kulkarni told reporters in Mumbai on Wednesday. Ishant, who made his Test debut against Bangladesh in 2007, has grabbed 226 wickets in 79 Test matches. “You will always find three bowlers playing one Test match, may be three-four Test matches, and then there will be a breakdown and that is an issue to be concerned about,” he added.
