Ashutosh Sharma shines as bowler, takes 13 wickets for Hampshire

Ashutosh Sharma has emerged as a standout performer in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup for Hampshire, taking 13 wickets in his first four matches. Known primarily as a finisher, Sharma began his county cricket stint with a three-wicket haul against Yorkshire, followed by four wickets against Middlesex and a five-wicket haul in subsequent appearances. This marks a significant turn in his career, as he has not bowled previously in his IPL career. His newfound bowling skill, paired with his established batting talent, enhances his prospects for selection in the Indian team.
