"Life is reflection of our own thought. Be positive, be happy and most important "be Good"to all," wrote Ishant on Twitter, as she shared a motivational quote which has got everything to do with comebacks!

Ishant had a base price of 2 crore INR in the IPL Auction but him getting unsold at the end of the the thrilling ride had left many in shock. The KXIP staff felt splashing the cash on bowlers Varun Aaron (2.8 crore INR) and left-arm seam bowler T Natrajan (3 crore INR) in the auction.
