Ashutosh Sharma burst into the scene last season, and he has continued to break records in IPL 2025. He was snapped up by Delhi Capitals at the IPL 2025 auction for 3.80 crore and grabbed the headlines for his blockbuster show against Lucknow Super Giants. Despite a breakout season, Punjab Kings failed to retain him, and Ashustosh has already shown what he is capable of. His imp[actful cameos came pretty handy last season, and he once again led his team from the front against a power-packed LSG side.
While chasing 210, the Capitals looked to be on their way towards another defeat, but Ashustosh had some other plans. He kept his composure till the last moment and snatched a brilliant victory with a valiant knock of 66.
In the JioStar - Delhi Capitals Press Room, Ashutosh opened up about MS Dhoni's influence on him. As quoted by the PTI, he said, "Yes, I did talk to him. When we had a match against CSK, I talked to him about the situation, how you would bat, what you think. He told me a lot of things. It's a secret." "You learn a lot from those legends of the game. How they approach the game, how they put everything into their game. I feel very happy and grateful that I play with all of them."
Delhi Capitals have been one of the few teams which are yet to lay their hand on the coveted IPL trophy. They have given the charge to Axar Patel this time and would be hoping for a change in their fortunes this time around.
