About

Right-arm medium pacer from Punjab, Sandeep Sharma rose to prominence during the 2012 Under-19 ICC Cricket World Cup. His four wickets in the final propelled India to the title and made him India’s joint highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 12 scalps. The pacer made his first-class debut in 2011 and earned a contract with the Kings XI Punjab ahead of IPL 2013. He was bought back by the franchise in the 2014 Auction. He has earned high praise from experts for his ability to swing the ball and has played a key role for his state side Punjab. He picked up 17 wickets in the 2017 edition with best bowling figures of 4/20. He formed a lethal partnership with Bhuvneshwar Kumar at Sunrisers Hyderabad. He's added a lot of variations to his armoury and can bowl at any stage of the game. He's been a consistent performer in the IPL with 114 wickets from 104 matches at an impressive average of 26.33 and economy rate of 7.77. He was named as replacement of the injured Prasidh Krishna by Rajasthan Royals ahead of the 2023 season and he had a decent outing with 10 wickets. In the year 2024, he rose to the occasion and was Rajasthan’s key bowler, having picked up 13 wickets which included figures of 5/18 which was the best bowling figures by a bowler in the edition. Sandeep’s sensational performance earned him a retention at the Royals ahead of IPL 2025. He will pair up with Jofra Archer to lead RR’s pace attack and his experience and wicket taking abilities will be crucial for the team.
