Punjab Kings' latest sensation Ashutosh Sharma has picked Virat Kohli as the most stylish player. Ashutosh Sharma made his IPL debut this season for Punjab Kings and created an impression straight away.

Ashutosh Sharma scored 189 runs in 11 matches in IPL 2024 at an average of 27 and a strike rate of 167.25. He mostly batted in the lower order for Punjab Kings and made an immediate impact with his ability to hit big sixes straight away.

In the upcoming season of the IPL, the eyes will be on him if he can repeat his IPL 2024 performance this time around. The youngster is likely to be a hot pick in the next year's IPL mega auction.

Ashutosh Sharma had a memorable IPL 2024

Ashutosh Sharma's six off Jasprit Bumrah in a match against Mumbai Indians was one of his most memorable highlights of this year's IPL. The youngster anticipated the yorker, went low, and swept Bumrah over deep backward square leg. Bumrah had been hit for just two sixes in IPL 2024 before this one. It is a shot that most batters won't be able to play against Bumrah.

Ashutosh took the Punjab Kings to an improbable victory over Gujarat Titans. In this match, he came in to bat as an impact player when Kings needed 50 off 27 balls with him being the last recognized batter. But Ashutosh smashed 31 off just 17 balls to take his side home.

In the next game as well, Ashutosh repeated his heroics and smacked 33 off just 15 balls. He came in to bat when Punjab Kings needed 69 off 27 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, this time Punjab Kings fell two runs short despite the youngster's herculean effort.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli had a fantastic time with the bat in IPL 2024. The veteran emerged as the highest run-scorer of the season with 741 runs in 15 matches at an average of 61.75 and a strike rate of 154.69. He scored one hundred and five fifties on his way.

The RCB batter played with an aggressive intent in the second half of IPL 2024 and powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru to an improbable playoffs spot.

However, Kohli's form took a huge hit in the T20 World Cup 2024, where he struggled to get a big score until the final. Kohli scored a valiant 76 off 59 balls in the final against South Africa to help India clinch the title. He was adjudged Player of the Match in the final. After the final, he announced his retirement from T20Is but will continue playing the IPL.
