In a thrilling encounter that kept fans on the edge of their seats, Punjab Kings (PBKS) clinched a nail-biting victory over Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 17 of the IPL 2024, thanks largely to the heroics of Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh.

When PBKS was down and out, it was two uncapped Indians, Ashutosh Sharma (31 off 17 balls) and Shashank Singh (61 off 29 balls) that led their team to a win.

Emerging from the shadows into the limelight, Impact Player Ashutosh Sharma's performance for PBKS was nothing short of spectacular. 

The match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, saw the Kings chasing a massive target of 200 runs. At one point, victory seemed like a distant dream, but Sharma, along with Shashank, turned the tide.

Who is Ashutosh Sharma?

Born in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, and having faced his fair share of trials and tribulations, Ashutosh's journey to this moment was fraught with challenges.

From leaving his family at the tender age of ten to pursue his dream in Indore, to facing setbacks that would have deterred the faint-hearted, his path to IPL glory was anything but easy. Ashutosh's early sacrifices laid the groundwork for a story of resilience that would inspire countless others.

Ashutosh's foray into professional cricket saw him making waves in the state U16 team by 2012, and later, representing Madhya Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.



Despite an impressive knock of 84 against Pondicherry, his journey hit a snag when he was unexpectedly dropped from the team in 2020. However, undeterred, Ashutosh found a new beginning with Railways in 2023, where he shattered records by scoring the fastest T20 fifty by an Indian, a feat that caught the eye of selectors and fans alike.

Ashutosh Sharma has started his IPL career with a bang now, his crucial knock of 31 runs off just 17 balls against GT has underlined his potential as a game-changer.

Ashutosh's innings, filled with three fours and a six, not only brought his team back from the brink but also set the stage for a thrilling finish, ultimately leading PBKS to a memorable victory by three wickets.
