DC vs KKR: 10 Best Memes On Ishant Sharma’s Comeback

Jatin KhandelwalBy Jatin Khandelwal20/04/2023No Comments2 Mins Read
Ishant Sharma

May 2, 2021 was the last time Ishant Sharma played in the IPL. He had gone unsold in the IPL 2022 mega-auction and, in the IPL 2023 auction, was then bought for his base price of INR 50 lakhs by Delhi Capitals, with whom he’d spent his last three seasons and played in only 4 matches across 2020 and 2021 seasons with just 1 wicket to show.

On April 20, 2023, Ishant Sharma made a complete comeback in the IPL as Delhi Capitals, who had bought him as a backup pacer, played him in the XI, in place of Mustaqfizur Rahman, who had to be dropped to include wicket-keeper Phil Salt, who had to come in to replace the underperforming Abhishek Porel, who had been playing in the absence of Rishabh Pant.

This mess in itself suggests how badly Delhi’s season has been going – 5 matches, 5 losses.

Ishant Sharma

But, today, Ishant Sharma, the 34-year-old veteran, came like a breath of fresh air for the Capitals and played a crucial role in them restricting the Kolkata Knight Riders for 127.

The lanky Indian seamer returned with brilliant figures of 2/19 in 4 overs, maintaining a terrific economy of 4.8! This is one of the best performances by Ishant Sharma in his IPL career. He took the wickets of the in-form Nitish Rana, catching the splice of his bat and mistiming his shot, caught by mid-on, and that of the dangerous Sunil Narine, caught at mid-wicket.

This has been the tournament of the old veterans turning the clock back and putting up spectacular performances. Add Ishant Sharma’s name to that list.

Fans came up with some hilarious jokes and memes on Ishant Sharma’s comeback to the IPL:

Ishant is 6 years younger than Anderson. Still Dravid was too quick to get rid of him.
