22-year-old Ashok Sharma is a promising right-arm fast bowler from Rampura village near Jaipur. The young right arm medium bowler is known for his sharp bouncer and showcased his potential early as part of Rajasthan’s Under-19 state team in 2019. 

His bowling action caught the attention of RR’s coach thus earning him an invitation to the trials. Consequently, during the pandemic, Ashok Sharma attended trials in Jaipur and was picked as a net bowler for the team. 

Sharma’s smooth run-up and consistent action blew away the selectors, prompting bids from Rajasthan Royals during the IPL 2022 mega auction. Unfortunately, the RR management missed out on securing his services back then but has sought out the opportunity this season.
