In the dynamic world of cricket, players often emerge from the shadows, capturing attention with their exceptional performances. One such standout figure is Mohit Sharma, whose recent feats in the IPL 2024 have sparked discussions about his potential inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad.

Mohit Sharma’s Stellar Performance

Mohit Sharma’s recent display of skill during the GT vs. SRH match in IPL 2024 showcased his bowling prowess. Despite seemingly modest figures of 3/25 in four overs, his impact transcended statistics. Sharma’s ability to contain runs while taking crucial wickets adds depth to his performance.

Consistency and Economy

In the current IPL season, Sharma has maintained consistency, claiming six wickets while conceding runs at an impressive economy rate of 7.75. This demonstrates his capacity to apply pressure to batsmen while minimizing scoring opportunities.

Past Success: IPL 2023

Sharma’s track record in the IPL is commendable. In the 2023 edition, he secured 27 wickets in 14 matches, finishing as the tournament’s second-highest wicket-taker. Such consistent performances underscore his value as a dependable asset for any team.

In short, in the 12 overs he has bowled, he has given only 93 runs. And it’s not a flash in the pan success for him. In 2023 edition, Mohit had picked up 27 wickets in 14 matches and was the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.

Potential for the T20 World Cup

As discussions about the T20 World Cup gain momentum, Sharma emerges as a compelling candidate for selection. His proficiency in adapting to different playing conditions, particularly in the USA and West Indies, bodes well for India’s campaign.

With a bowling speed ranging from 130 to 135 kmph, Sharma possesses the versatility to vary his pace, making him a formidable opponent on diverse pitches. His adeptness at bowling at death overs further enhances his suitability for high-pressure situations.

Mohit Sharma made his IPL debut in 2013 after he was bought by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for INR 10 Lakhs. His salary was increased to INR 2 crore in 2014. After three years with CSK, Mohit joined Punjab Kings in 2016 for INR 6.5 crore. However, his salary was reduced to INR 2.4 crore in IPL 2018.

Mohit was again bought back by CSK for INR 5 crore ahead of IPL 2019. While in 2020, he was sold to Delhi Capitals for ₹50 Lakhs. He didn’t get featured in the tournament in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, Mohit was sold to GT for INR 50 Lakhs.
