Ishant Sharma: Does 17 wickets in 13 Tests at 77.88 deserve a place in the India side?

In January 2008, a precociously-talented fast bowler mesmerised the world with the spell that stunned one of the legends in the game, who was made to sweat for every run as he fought to anchor a fourth innings run-chase.
