Veteran Indian pacer Ishant Sharma celebrates his 32nd birthday on Wednesday (September 2). Mostly known for his heroics in the longest format of the game, the right-arm speedster has also made a statement in Indian Premier League (IPL). Ishant has bowed many impressive spells in the tournament but is accused of leaking runs in the crucial overs. So far, the pacer has played for as many as six teams.
They are Kolkata Knight Riders, (now defunct) Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rising Pune Super Giant, Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals. Nevertheless, he performed quite consistently for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2019 and played a crucial role in guiding the side to the playoffs. As Ishant turns a year older, let’s revisit some of his best spells in IPL.
