Though Chris Gayle was picked up by KXIP on the second day of the auction, Ishant was left unsold even after the second day of the event.
Reportedly, Ishant was quite sure about him being sold and with the same confidence, he refused many brand endorsements and advertisements that were scheduled to be shot during IPL. A famous job portal, in its new advertisements, has shown Ishant Sharma as one of its users.
After social media picked up the ad and news media covered it, it was revealed that Ishant Sharma indeed is one of its users. In fact, Ishant had created his account and uploaded his CV soon after the IPL auctions got over.
After investigating the news, it is found that the skills Ishant has mentioned in his CV are food delivery jobs as his first preference and mentioned fast delivery as his one of his key skills. This seems to be a new trend which has to be followed by many other unsold players.
