During the sixth game of IPL 2022 between the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), former Delhi franchise pacer, Ishant Sharma was seen in the virtual guest box, which left the fans in shock. He was seen donning a sponsored shirt for RuPay, sitting in front of a plain background. The guest box showcases fans cheering from home for their favorite franchise, and it came as a shocker when Ishant Sharma was seen among them.
Ishant Sharma was a part of that guest box and he was promoting RuPay. But to see him in that place made the fans feel sorry for him. He was a part of the IPL till the 2021 edition and was featured in the Delhi Capitals squad. After a snapshot of the virtual guest box went viral on social media, people called it an ‘unreal decline’, looking at how he has ended up in his career.

Fans were more shocked when even the commentators ignored the fact that the legendary India bowler was a part of the virtual guest box. Meanwhile, Ishant went unsold in the 2022 mega auction.
This time, there were 10 franchises at the auction, and not a single one of them showed any interest in getting him on their team. Ishant has played 93 IPL matches in his career and has 72 wickets in his bag. He last played a Test match against New Zealand in November 2021. He hasn’t managed to make it to the Test squad ever since.
