Ashok Sharma

Ashok Sharma, born on June 17, 2002, in Rajasthan, is a young Indian medium pacer known for his swing bowling abilities. He has been part of the Rajasthan Royals camp as a net bowler and earned praise from the squad. Sharma initially impressed the Kolkata Knight Riders management and was bought by them for ₹55 lakh in the 2022 IPL auction, although he did not play any matches for KKR.

In the IPL 2025 auction, Ashok Sharma was finally acquired by Rajasthan Royals for ₹30 lakh. His inclusion in the RR squad marks his return to the franchise where he previously honed his skills as a net bowler. Sharma's smooth run-up and consistent action have been noted by selectors, and he is expected to contribute to RR's bowling lineup with his ability to swing the ball effectively. Despite limited professional experience, Sharma's potential as a swing bowler makes him an exciting prospect for Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming season.
