I know Ishant for many years now. He started playing state cricket with me. We have been roommates for many years in State Cricket. When he got selected for India he was fast asleep in the afternoon. And I had to kick him off the bed to say you've been selected and he would not believe me, that's how far we go back and I couldn't be happier for Playing 100 Test matches as a fast bowler is no mean feat, especially in our conditions where things can get so difficult., but he kept working hard and that's been essence from day one. 

He is very hardworking guy and very honest about the game, about his ability is about what he can bring to the table. he is very self assured he knows me Inside Out there is big trust factor. I know him inside out, I know that he is gonna respond to advise and he knows I'm gonna listen to his plans as well. I am going to be present on the field many places hundred games and the see the smile on his face and just running and bowl will great to watch for dear friend of mine
