From an early age, Sharma displayed an intrinsic love for cricket, often seen with a bat in hand, goading neighbourhood friends into spirited matches. His talent was unmistakable, and by the time he reached his teens, he was fast emerging as a local prodigy.
Sharma's journey from a playful enthusiast to a professional cricketer was a testament to his relentless dedication. Early training sessions at the renowned Karnataka Cricket Academy honed his raw abilities into formidable cricketing skills. His debut in the domestic circuit was met with eager anticipation.
