With over 100 wickets and more than a decade of experience under his belt, Sandeep Sharma is astute IPL campaigner. The right-arm medium pacer made his IPL debut back in 2013 for Punjab and has been a consistent performer ever since. 

He became a fan favorite in 2017 when he became the first bowler to get the famed trio of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers out all in the same game. During this period he was with the Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, his form dipped a tad bit in 2021 but bounced back after the Royals picked the Indian bowler in the 2023 auction. 

As a matter of fact, it is here in RR where the 31-year-old reinvented himself as a death-over bowler. He is also the IPL’s third-best bowler in the powerplays!
