As usual, this IPL season also brought some new stars into the spotlight, and that is none
other than the player of DC, Ashutosh Sharma. He just became a headline after his jaw-
dropping 66 oƯ 31 balls performance in the IPL 2025 match of DC vs LSG, and due to
which even the DC lifted the victory tag in the match, his amazing game performance left
fans and experts wondering whether Ashutosh Sharma is the next big finisher in the IPL?
It was earlier seen that various players, such as AB de Villiers, Andre Russell, and MS Dhoni, all proved legendary finishers in IPL, but this time Ashutosh came out as a surprise
for everyone, especially his fearless stroke play and ability to handle pressure which
could even make him the new sensation in the town.
A Knock to Remember- How Ashutosh Sharma Stole the Show
DC was almost in the defeat phase, chasing 210 runs, when everyone just lost hope of
winning, and everyone was disappointed with the players and performance. Just at that
moment entry of one unknown or lesser-known player took place who just came onto the ground and conquered the field in a style which no one had ever imagined before with wickets falling around him, he stayed calm, took on bowlers and played his best inning of all time and finished the game in dramatic fashion which led DC to be the winner of the match and this fantastic mind-blowing player was Ashutosh Sharma. He scored 66 with 31 balls, which showcased his fearless finishing. His strike rate was 212+which is one of the highest in IPL 2025 so far. The moment that turned the match in DC’s favour was his 4 sixes in the last two overs. And one of the appreciable moments was his handling of the star bowlers of Lucknow with ease.
Who is Ashutosh Sharma? From Domestic Star to IPL Hero
Earlier lesser-known but now a household sensation after today’s match, Ashutosh
Sharma, originally from Madhya Pradesh, has dominated domestic cricket with his
aggressive batting. DC spotted his talent and gave him a chance to play in their team, and
now he is proving why he deserved that IPL contract. There is nothing like luck, but
everything is hard work and dedication. Talking about his journey, this sensational player earlier in 2019-2023 played domestic T20s for Madhya Pradesh, 2024 DC picked him up as a backup player, and now presently in the 2025 IPL season, he has become IPL’s
breakout star with match-winning performances.
Comparisons with MS-Dhoni and Rinku Singh, Future Finisher
Cricket experts and fans have started comparing him with MS Dhoni and Rinku Singh due to his finishing ability, what made him stand out from the crowd is his ability to remain cool even under pressure, power hitting skills and the versatile shot-maker that he plays both conventional and unorthodox shots and even experts made the statement after his this amazing performance that if he continues to play like this then we might get to see him soon in Indian jersey as well that also possibly even for T20 World Cup 2026.

For Ashutosh Sharma the journey had just started with IPL 2025 but in very short span of
time he is successful in grabbing attention of IPL fans and made a huge impact this
season and if keeps to continue to play and perform like this in other matches as well
then soon Indian Team will have another go-to-finisher in their team.
