5/6

During the 2008 Test series againstAustralia in India,Ishant was the leading wicket-taker, with16, and was named man-of-the-series as India won 20. He thereby became the first Indianpaceman to win such an award in a Test series on Indian soil after Kapil Dev who won the awardin 1983. He was noted for achievingreverse swingon balls sometimes as young as eight overs,and along with senior opening bowler Zaheer Khan, troubled the touring Australians.[18]He took

Australian captain Ricky Ponting's wicket three times during the series, and six times in as manyTests, making the Indian press label Ponting as Ishant's bunny.[19]

However, in 2009, Ishant's form slumped, and he was dropped for the second Test against SriLanka, replaced bySreesanth.

On 5 October 2010, Ishant helpedVVS Laxmanpull off a highly unlikely win over Australia byone wicket in the first Test in Mohali after India had fallen to 8/124 in pursuit of 205. Ishantprovided Laxman with support during an 81-run partnership in which he contributed 31 valuableruns.
