Sandeep Sharma’s Professional Career

Sandeep Sharma’s IPL Career

Sharma is one of the most underrated swing bowlers in the nation and has a bright future in the IPL. He first made his IPL debut in 2013 and took three wickets against Hyderabad and scored 21 runs. 

His bowling ability drew interest from other teams, and he later received an offer from Sunrisers Hyderabad after being initially signed by his native team, Kings XI Punjab. 

Sharma became the first bowler to remove Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers (the best batting trio at the time) in the same match on May 5, 2017, at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, helping his team win a low-scoring thriller.

In a competitive bidding war between KKR and KXIP prior to the 2018 IPL, Sunrise Hyderabad waited for the excitement to die down before nailing the deal by acquiring him for a whopping three crore rupees, making him one of the priciest Indian purchases of the year. He took 12 wickets from 12 games in the 2018 season, with an average of 27.7 and a pitiful economy rate of 7.56. 

Additionally, he had respectable results in 2019 and 2020, taking 12 and 14 wickets, respectively. His fortunes, however, took a significant turn for the worse in 2021, when he was only selected for 7 games and benched after taking just 3 wickets. He was re-signed by the Punjab franchise in 2022, but his five appearances didn’t yield anything. Sharma was signed by the Rajasthan Royals in 2023 as a replacement for the injured Prasidh Krishna after going unsold in the auction.
