Vivrant Sharma made headlines in the IPL 2023 mini-auction in Kochi on Friday (December 23) when Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him for Rs 2.6 crore. However, not many knew about him when his name was announced during the auction as well. However, Vivrant is a young all-rounder from the state of Jammu & Kashmir.
The 24-year-old player is still a rookie in senior cricket and has played only 2 first-class, 14 List A and 9 T20s for his state team as well. However, Vivrant made his first-class debut just a week back in the Ranji Trophy game against Madhya Pradesh as well whereas his List A debut came against Saurashtra in 2021. Moreover, Vivrant played his first T20 against Andhra Pradesh in 2021 as well.

J&K completed the chase in 42.2 overs while losing only 1 wicket. However, Vivrant Sharma has joined SRH at a huge price and he will be hoping to use the opportunity if given one as well.
