Known for his accuracy, swing bowling, and economical spells, Sandeep has become a formidable force in the game.
Sandeep's cricketing journey began at a young age when he started playing for his school team in Patiala.
Initially, he displayed great promise as a batsman but it was his coach who recognized his true potential as a bowler and encouraged him to take up bowling seriously.
Sandeep's dedication and hard work paid off, and he soon began to make a mark with his bowling skills.
In 2010, Sandeep was selected to represent India in the Under-19 World Cup held in New Zealand.
This was a significant moment in his career as it provided him with the platform to showcase his abilities on the international stage.
However, it was in the 2012 edition of the Under-19 World Cup in Australia where Sandeep truly shone.
He played a crucial role in India's successful campaign, taking four wickets in the final against the hosts and becoming the joint-highest wicket-taker for his team with an impressive tally of 12 wickets overall.
His remarkable performances caught the attention of the selectors, and Sandeep was signed by the Kings XI Punjab for the 2013 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Over the next three seasons, he proved his worth as a consistent wicket-taker, claiming 39 dismissals in total.
Not only did Sandeep showcase his ability to swing the ball, but he also earned the trust of his captain, George Bailey, who often entrusted him with the responsibility of bowling the crucial death overs.
Sandeep's impressive performances in the IPL earned him a spot in the Indian T20 squad for a two-match series against Zimbabwe in 2015.
Unfortunately, he couldn't make a significant impact during that series.
However, this setback did not discourage him, and he continued to hone his skills.
In 2014, Sandeep faced a major setback when he suffered a stress fracture of the back, which kept him away from the game for five months.
Despite this setback, he didn't lose his motivation and worked hard to make a strong comeback.
His determination paid off when he claimed 28 wickets in the 2014-15 Ranji Trophy, emerging as the leading wicket-taker for his side.
Sandeep Sharma is known for his ability to swing the ball both ways, often causing headaches for the batsmen.
His accuracy and control make him a dependable bowler, capable of delivering economical spells and breaking partnerships.
He continues to be a valuable asset for his team, both in domestic cricket and in the IPL.
As his career progresses, Sandeep Sharma remains focused on improving his skills and contributing to the success of his team.
With his talent and dedication, there is no doubt that Sandeep Sharma will continue to leave a lasting impact on the cricketing world for years to come.
