The young leggie was only 19 years old when he picked up three wickets on his TATA IPL debut for Kolkata Knight Riders against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2023. Alongside the more experienced and prolific spin-bowling pair of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy, Sharma held his own and ended a breakthrough edition with 10 wickets. Sharma plays for Delhi in domestic cricket and his past stint with KKR has shown that he has the ability to shine on the big stage against the world’s best. Acquired by INR 2.6 Crore ahead of TATA IPL 2025, RCB will hope that the leg-spinner further improves on his past success and proves to be a game-changer.
