<p>Fast bowler Ishant Sharma is hungry to make a mark after battling indifferent form and an injury lay-off. He insists he hasn’t done away with his speed and even worked on his outswingers to add variety to his bowling. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Ishant has been trying to get into the rhythm playing on the domestic circuit. The Delhiite got three wickets for Rest of India in the Irani Trophy and notched up 4-29 in the Duleep Trophy quarterfinal against West Zone. Ishant was picked for India’s home series against New Zealand but didn’t get a game. He, however, used the time learning the outswing with India bowling coach Joe Dawes.<br /><br />"I am known as an inswinging bowler but I have been working on my outswingers now. It has come out nice. It will be a surprise for the batsmen besides adding a new dimension to my bowling,” said Ishant, who went through the paces during the Delhi Ranji team’s practice at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium on Friday.<br /><br />The Delhi bowler is happy with his stint on the domestic circuit so far. <br />"The rhythm has been good. I was happy to bowl 26 overs against the Central Zone. It was a good practice for me. I prefer to go all out for wickets and would have liked to get a few wickets against Central,” he said. <br /><br />"I have not tried to cut down on my speed. It is something that comes with a lot of practice. Whether I play for my club team, Delhi or India I am always ready to go all out.”<br />Seasoned left-arm seamer Ashish Nehra is also a part of Delhi Ranji squad and Ishant admitted picking the nuances of fast bowling from him. <br /><br />"He (Nehra) is a senior bowler and has 12 years of international experience. He has been telling me about how to adjust length on different wickets. It’s more of a tactical discussion with him than technical,” he said.</p>
