In order to prevent his reputation from suffering following the 2024 Indian Premier League season, Ashutosh Sharma has taken precautions. After making an iconic cameo during the Punjab Kings’ thrilling season-opening triumph over the Gujarat Titans, the batter rose to fame.

was again the highlight of the game, this time against the Mumbai Indians. Even though the Kings missed an incredible victory on my 11 circle by just nine runs, Ashutosh’s blitzkrieg drew in supporters from all around the globe.

Ashutosh arrived to bat at number eight in the tenth over of the 193-run chase, with his team struggling at 77/6. Almost single-handedly, he ignited Punjab Kings’ chances of a second comeback victory. Ashtuosh shared runs with fellow uncapped batsman Shashank Singh (41) to score 61 off just 28 deliveries prior to launching a blistering onslaught on the MI bowlers.

He hit some incredible betway shots during his century, such sweeping fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for a six, that went viral on social media. Given that the MI star stepped on the delivery before it, the ball in question was a free hit.

Ashutosh managed to adopt a firm position against the incredibly strong Bumrah. Ashutosh was able to bend and connect just enough to send the ball speeding behind square for an unbelievable six, despite the bowler’s attempt to deliver a yorker.

With each passing ball, Ashutosh’s confidence grew, and he surprised the spectators by limiting the opponent to a respectable 25 off just 18 deliveries. Regretfully, Gerald Coetzee bowled him off the first delivery of the eighteenth over, ending the hitter’s chance to give MI the game-winning blow. The South African played the slower ball and hit the game-winning shot. After mishandling the ball, the young Dafabet player tried to reach the midwicket boundary but was caught by Muhammad Nabi.
