Twitter reactions: Ishant Sharma grabs his 200th Test wicket as India creates history: India won the final Test against Sri Lanka by 117 runs, ending the 22 years drought of a series win in the Sri Lankan islands. Ishant Sharma played a very important role, grabbing the wicket of Angelo Mathews, Sri Lankan captain the centurion of today, along with 2 early wickets in the 2nd innings.
Blazing form, brash attitude Ishant Sharma is the headlines of news and trending topic of the social media. From the wickets he grabbed to the send-offs he gave to the Sri Lankan batsmen Ishant has been the talk of the town since quite a while. His 8-wicket haul in the final Test will be a rather special one.
Amidst his brashness, the punishment from the ICC and the ongoing tiff between Ishant Sharma and the Sri Lankan team, he completed his 200th Test wicket driving India on the track of creating history as India wins the series from 2-1.
Ishant’s 200th wicket came in the form of Angelo Mathews the Sri Lankan captain who lost his wicket after scoring 110 runs. Ishant’s 200 will be special given the fact that India won a series in Sri Lanka after 22 long years. The first series win for Virat Kohli and Ishant’s 200 came with the date being engraved on the pages of history.

Ishant gets him, but Mathews strengthens his credentials as the best 4th innings player of this generation#slvind#indvssl

Ishant Sharma's bowling average (36.5) is the worst in Test history for any bowler with 200+ wickets. He took his 200th wicket today.

Ishant Sharma completes 200 wickets a day before his 27th birthday. In case you are wondering who is youngest to 200 wkts – K Dev (24y 68d).

Ishant Sharma has reached 200 wickets

Maybe not a coming of age but surely a coming of length for his hair.
