Former India all-rounder Amay Khurasiya, now a Level-III BCCI qualified coach, has been closely following the impressive performances of his protege, 25-year-old batter Ashutosh Sharma, in his debut IPL season with Punjab Kings (PBKS). With one eye on his cricket academy in Jabalpur and the other on Sharma’s matches, Khurasiya has been thrilled by the young player’s fearless approach.
Sharma’s incredible talent has not gone unnoticed, with Khurasiya praising his ability to take on any bowler with confidence and play for the team’s victory. The young cricketer first made headlines by breaking Yuvraj Singh’s record for the fastest fifty in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament.
Sharma’s recent explosive innings for PBKS, including a match-winning knock against Mumbai Indians, have showcased his potential as a game-changer in the middle order. Despite the team’s struggles in the IPL, Sharma has shone brightly and earned praise for his cricketing skills.
Grateful for the support and guidance from mentors like Khurasiya and PBKS head of cricket development Sanjay Bangar, Sharma remains focused on honing his craft and making a mark in the cricketing world. With a combination of hard work, talent, and mentorship, Sharma is proving to be a rising star in Indian cricket.
As PBKS gears up for their upcoming matches, all eyes will be on Sharma to continue his impressive form and lead the team to victory. His ability to play cricketing shots with finesse and confidence has made him a standout player in the IPL 2024 season.
