Ashutosh Sharma played a match winning inning in the match against Lucknow.
Ashutosh Sharma was the hero of Delhi Capitals’ victory against Lucknow Super Giants in the fourth match of IPL 2025. He led Delhi to victory in a losing match. Ashutosh himself was once a victim of depression. But now he has the power to send other teams into depression with his fiery batting.
Ashutosh, who was a part of Punjab Kings in IPL 2024, had caught everyone’s attention by playing some explosive innings last season as well. But Punjab Kings did not retain him. This season Delhi included him in their team. Ashutosh has shown that he is a horse for the long race by playing a match-winning innings of 66 runs against Lucknow Super Giants.
Chasing the target of 210 runs given by LSG, at one point Delhi’s team had lost 5 wickets for 65 runs. Then everyone felt that Delhi would lose this match. Ashutosh, who came on the field at that time, batted well first with Tristan Stubbs and then with Vipraaj Nigam. Ashutosh Sharma faced 31 balls during his 66-run innings in which he hit 5 fours and 5 sixes.
Ashutosh Sharma was once a victim of depression
Let us tell you that Kolkata Knight Riders coach Chandrakant Pandit was once the head coach of the Madhya Pradesh team. At that time, despite performing well, he was not getting a place in the team and he was going into depression. Recalling that time, Ashutosh had said, “There was a time when I was not even allowed to experience the cricket field.
I would go to the gym and relax in my hotel room. I was sinking into depression and no one told me what my mistake was. A new coach had joined Madhya Pradesh and his likes and dislikes were very strict and despite scoring 90 runs in 45 balls in the trial match, I was dropped from the team.”
