‘Welcome Back, Ishant Sharma’- Fans Hail DC Pacer For First IPL 2023 Breakthrough After 717 Days
New Delhi: Former India pacer Ishan Sharma made his IPL comeback after 717 years. Ishant Sharma is playing his debut match for Delhi Capitals as he replaces Mustafizur Rahman in the starting XI. DC are taking on KKR at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi as they look to end their five-match winless run.
Twitterati started hailing Ishant Sharma after the towering pacer scalped Nitish Rana’s wicket on the first ball of the fifth over. The aerial shot was not timed at all and Mukesh at mid-on sprints back leaps and took a pretty good catch.

It was so pleasing to see Ishant Sharma performing this well..He was a test legend but wasn’t able to finish career well
