With 434 dismissals spanning across 199 international fixtures, Ishant has established an indelible legacy in the chronicles of Indian cricket. It would be apt to travel down the memory lane with one of Ishant's vividly-recalled classic spells to the-then Australian skipper, Ricky Ponting. The greenhorn had just burst onto the scene and had immediately impressed one and all with his raw pace and zip. With Australia requiring 413 to win the 2008 Perth Test and clinch the four-match series, Ishant got the better of Ponting, tormenting and unsetlling the batting maestro all ends up. The then-emerging pacer kept at it and gave the seasoned Ponting no freebies whatsoever during an unyielding seven-over spell which saw the Australian star dance to his tunes. The first delivery of his eighth over of the morning which cut Ponting into half, with the host skipper departing after nicking a probing delivery in the fourth-fifth stump channel to leave the then-19-year-old pumped.
