One day internationals in which a particular team totally outplays it's opponemnt often give the viewers a boring match. But similar matches have got a different definition in T-2o format.Difference lies in the fact that, in twenty - twenty 'stunning player centric' matches are more often than 'boring team centric' matches. Nowadays, a destructive bowler or an aggressive batsman taking over the control of the whole match is a common sight.Stating this we should think whether 'destructive bowler' and 'aggressive batsman' are synonymous terms in the context. You cannot resist yourself from saying a 'no'. IPl or generally t-20 is such a platform which favours batsmen more compared to a bowler.So match winning efforts from bowlers have to be highly appreciated.

Amazing spells from Indian pacer Ishant Sharma , who was out of form in recent times gifted his side a spectacular win over the dark horse Kochi Tuskers Kerala. And the end of first innings things were looking pretty easy for KTK. Indeed ishant changed the script by taking three wickets in his first over itself. Incredible ishant proved that he has the ability and skill to complement Zaheer khan in the indian squad.Ishant tasted success by focussing on basics.It looked as if his teammate Dale steyn reflected on Ishant.
