Indian Premier League

Sharma took three wickets for 21 runs in his IPL debut match when he played for Kings XI Punjab against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 11 May 2013. In the 2017 edition of the IPL, Sharma claimed 3/22 from his four overs against Royal Challengers Bangalore and in the process became the first bowler to get the trio of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers out in the same game.[3]

In January 2018, he was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2018 IPL auction.[4] In February 2022, he was bought by the Punjab Kings in the auction for the 2022 Indian Premier League tournament.[5] In March 2023, he was brought in by Rajasthan Royals for the 2023 Indian Premier League as an injury replacement for Prasidh Krishna after initially being unsold in the 2023 IPL Auction.[6]

International career

After his impressive domestic season with Punjab and Kings XI Punjab Sharma was picked in the 15-man squad for the limited overs tour of Zimbabwe in July 2015. He made his Twenty20 International debut against Zimbabwe on 17 July 2015.[7]
