Ashutosh Sharma (photo: IPL Video Grab) New Delhi: Ashutosh Sharma is no longer just a prospect. On Monday, Visag on Monday stood Sharma, dressed in the naval blue of Delhi Capitals, in the middle of a decaying persecution, his bat swinging chaos and a triumph. At that time you could say that it became a force.
With an undefeated 66 out of 31 balls, he pulled the victory from the jaws against Lucknow Super Giants and turned almost some loss to an exciting victory with one goal-winning, which echoes through the Indian Premier League (IPL) tradition.

It wasn’t just knocking the winning match. It was a statement. “He has self -confidence, raw strength and the ability to influence games in minutes,” Mentor DC was shook by Kevin Pietersen after the match.
Sharma debuted last season with Pandjab Kings and Delhi was selected at the Mega auction for RS 3.8 Crore. The investment looks like theft.
Last season he was named the impact player, and together with Shashan Singh helped Punjab pull out a few wins while chasing. Then there were some games where he offered his talent – 31 out of 17 balls against Gujarat Titans, 61 out of 28 balls against the Indians in Mumbai – but these knocks ended in a heart break with the panda.
“I learned from last year. I missed the game on several occasions in the previous season. I focused and visualized all year. I had the belief that if I play until the last end, something happened,” Ashutosh thought after Lucknow on Monday.
“Last year he was really good, but that is history for me. I took positives from there and worked on myself to improve any weaknesses I had. I use what I did in my home cricket,” he added.
Sharm’s finishing ability shone against Lucknow. From 113/6 in the 13th place, which needed 97 out of 45, masterfully passed his shifts. Soon he absorbed pressure and then exploded when it mattered. His 47 will run away from the last 12 balls he faced, was a testimony to his nerve.
When Kuldeep Yadav was moved in the penultimate overlap and left Delhi with one goal, Ashutosh did not move. Six and four of Prince Yadava brought the equation to six out of six, and he closed it with flair. It was Dhoni-Esque-Kluk in the middle of chaos and deadly when he relaxed.
Captain Delhi Axar Patel could not hide his respect. “The way he turned it was something special,” he said. “We were down and out, but Ashutosh did it.”
His ability to read the game, turn the strike with talenders, and choose his moments for aggression, which refers to him as a rare talent, a finisher that thrives when chances are stacked against him. Sharm’s quick ability to score is his calling card.
In the T20s, his career strike is around the stunning 184.50. He must recognize the fastest fifty in the T20 cricket Indian-11-Miček effort against Arnacal Pradesh at the Syed Mushtaq Ali 2023 tournament.
“I think of the shots I practiced. If I connect one or two, I continue,” Sharma Mantra stressed on Monday.
Since the Criket land was allowed by the current IPL team coach, once in his career to be the most dramatic persecution of IPL 2025, Sharma has long been a long way.
Sharma, who fought depression at a young age when his career was at the intersection, can now start career to become another big “chasemaster”.
