The young teenager Indain  pace bowler Ishant Sharma is ready for his 1st ever world cup match.Besides his team's poor performance in IPL,he says being part of that team taught me many important lessons.

“I have never been part of any World Cup, and I am really looking forward to it. Conditions in England will be helpful for bowlers and I want to make it memorable for myself. It’s a huge honour to go in as the defending champions,” Sharma told the Indian Express.

"I really have to take care of my economy rate and then I need to work on variations," said the wiry paceman, who was part of the losing Kolkata franchise in the ongoing Indian Premier League Twenty20 in South Africa. 

“In T20, you need to have a good yorker and different kinds of slower balls. Also, I am looking to become an impact bowler because nothing else puts the opposing team back like losing early wickets,” he added
