Following the 2024 Indian Premier League season, Ashutosh Sharma has taken measures to guarantee that his reputation won’t diminish. The batter became well-known after making a memorable cameo in the Punjab Kings’ amazing comeback triumph against the Dafabet India earlier in the season.
was, once again, the highlight of the game, this time against the Mumbai Indians. Fans from all around the world were also drawn to Ashutosh’s blitzkrieg, even if the Kings on Thursday almost missed an incredible victory by nine runs.
With his side struggling at 77/6 in a 193-run chase, Betway came to bat at number eight in just the tenth over of the run chase, almost single-handedly sparking Punjab Kings’ hopes for a second comeback victory. Prior to launching a devastating assault on the MI bowlers, Ashtuosh shared 34 runs with fellow uncapped batsman Shashank Singh (41) before smashing 61 off only 28 deliveries.
He played several strokes during his innings that stunned the onlookers on social media, including a sweep for a six off world-class fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. The MI star stepped on the previous delivery, therefore the ball in issue was a free hit.
When facing the incredibly potent Bumrah, Ashutosh was able to adopt a forceful approach. Ashutosh was able to bend and connect just enough to send the ball hurtling behind square for an amazing six, despite the bowler’s attempt at a yorker.
Ashutosh, who was growing more self-assured with each ball, surprised the audience with a hit that limited the opposition to a respectable 25 off 18 deliveries. However, the hitter was dismissed off the first ball of the eighteenth over, bowled by Gerald Coetzee, so he was unable to deliver the game-winning blow to MI. The game-winning shot came from the slower ball played by the my 11 circle. When the young player from PBKS misplayed the ball and tried to cross the midwicket boundary, Mohammad Nabi caught him.
