Suyash Sharma took the Indian Premier League (IPL) by storm last year. Kolkata Knight Riders handed him his maiden IPL contract and the Delhi spinner hit the ground running in the competition.
He made his IPL as well as T20 debut in IPL 2023 and impressed one and all with his bowling. On his debut against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Suyash Sharma registered figures of 3 for 30 in a match-winning cause. The youngster caught the attention with his variations as he troubled the batters with his googly, leg break, back spinner, and flipper.
He went on to finish his maiden IPL season with 10 wickets. After a promising campaign in his maiden IPL season, Suyash Sharma will be looking to impress in the forthcoming season of the IPL as well. The seventeenth edition of the IPL is scheduled to be played on March 22. Reigning champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the tournament-opener.
