Personal Life
Ishant Sharma is actually a 1988-born, which makes him about 36 years old and one of the most experienced bowlers in India right now. He was way too serious about cricket from an early age and started playing on more competitive levels when he was just a teenager.
As for his love life, well, he is already married to Pratima Singh, and it was actually back in 2016 when they got married. And recently, in 2023, they brought their cute daughter into the world, though we don’t know her name because they haven’t made it public yet.
Professional Life And IPL Career
Ishant Sharma’s international career goes back to 2007 when he made his debut for the Indian team in the Test format. And it was just in the span of one year that he made his debut in T20 as well as ODI format for the nation. In all three formats of the game, he has taken more than 400 wickets, which is just an impressive achievement in itself for him.
And looking at how well he was doing for India, there is no way any team could have left him out, so, in the first-ever IPL auctions, it was Delhi Capitals that went for him, and he made his debut for this team in IPL 2008. And from that first ever IPL season, he has been kinda consistent with his performance, like taking important wickets whenever his team needs. The same thing he seems to be doing in IPL 2025 as well, but this time for the Gujarat Titans team.
