Jimmy Neesham took to Twitter to joke about Ishant Sharma and the 10 ball over he had sent down the England vs India Leeds test match
After their heroics in the Lord’s test match, the Indian side stepped out for the Headingly test match with immense momentum in their ranks. And with Mark Wood sidelined owing to an injury as he hurt his right shoulder during the second clash, India were further bolstered.
Up against a paper thin English bowling unit with Wood, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad all ruled out with injuries, Kohli decided to bat first at Leeds. In an unprecedented set of events, the Indian captain managed to win the toss as opposed to what has become the norm for him.

However, the decision failed to work in the Indians favour as James Anderson wrecked havoc in the Indian top order. Removing KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara early on, Anderson acted as the bagpiper of an incredible renaissance from the English side.
The hosts went onto clean up India for a measly 78, a score which saw India staring at the battle on the first day itself. Barring a mammoth effort from their bowlers, India knew they could easily end up losing their lead in the series.

However, the bowling unit wasn’t any better with the Indian speedsters all over the pitch. Ishant Sharma’s 10 ball over was a testament to the wayward line and length the Indian unit sent down on the day with him bowling no ball and wides in the over.
Ensuing his torrid over, New Zealand’s Jimmy Neesham took to Twitter to mock Ishant Sharma as he compared Ishant’s over to the format of The Hundred.
Ishant obviously a big fan of @thehundred , keen to bowl 10 first up #IndvsEng
