Indian pacer Ishant Sharma wreaked havoc in Bangladesh camp by picking up a fifer in India's first pink-ball Test played at Eden Gardens. His outstanding contribution helped India to bowl out Bangladesh on just 106 runs. 

Sharma returned figures of 5/22 in the second session of the second Test. This was Ishant's second five-wicket haul in India which came after a period of 12 years.

During the press conference, Sharma talked about his bowling. He was also asked a silly question which got a hilarious response. Ishant's reply left everyone in the room laughing. A journalist asked if the ball was visible during the night and evening session or not? To which Ishant responded, “Yes, sir. When the lights are on, you can see the ball."

Talking about his current form and the hard work of a long time finally paying off, Ishant said, "I am enjoying my cricket right now. I used to put a lot of pressure on myself before. Earlier I used to think that I am beating the batsmen but still not taking wickets. Now I don't think all that. All I tell myself is that I have to take wickets. Obviously, I have the experience and so I need to adjust to the conditions as soon as possible."
