Profile
It was no surprise when Sharma made his mark in the recent EurAsia tournament with two half-centuries in three matches, including 62 against Pakistan A, where he batted in the middle order. He'd exuded class at No. 3 in the Under-19 World Cup - barring the final, when the entire Indian line-up was blown away by rampant Pakistan fast bowlers - and displayed the key quality for that position: adaptability. Sharma is equally happy in the role of accumulator or aggressor, depending on the game situation. He is also a more than useful offspinner - a skill he will no doubt be looking to hone so as to have a second string in his bow. He was rewarded with a call-up to the Indian one-day squad for the short tour of Ireland in June 2007. But it was in the ICC World Twenty20 that he walked into public imagination with a sparkling fifty against South Africa. He was part of the side that lifted that title, but his opportunities in the one-day game have been limited. He scored a half-century in the only match he played in a series against Pakistan in November, and was included in India's 16-man squad for the CB Series in Australia a couple months later.
Andrew McGlashan (January 2008)
