Ashutosh Sharma of Delhi Capitals has become a star player in one night. He played an innings against Lucknow Super Giants that gave everyone a big crazy. Ashutosh scored an unbeaten 66 off 31 balls, due to which Delhi achieved a target of 210 runs even after losing 5 wickets for 65 runs. Ashutosh Sharma was born in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh. But he plays for railways in domestic cricket. However, he has also played for Madhya Pradesh earlier. But then something happened to him that he had to change the team.

Ashutosh Sharma had made serious allegations against the coach

Let me tell you, Ashutosh Sharma had revealed in the last season of IPL how he had gone through a struggle to become a successful player. During this, he made serious allegations against the head coach of Madhya Pradesh. Ashutosh had told that he had scored 84 runs in the last T20 match played for Madhya Pradesh in 2019. After this, he was dropped from the team. Actually, Chandrakant Pandit was made the new coach of the Madhya Pradesh team at the same time. Which is currently the head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL. Ashutosh had told that he was deliberately excluded from the team.

Ashutosh Sharma, while talking about his last match for Madhya Pradesh, said in an interview, 'Then a new coach came, which I probably did not like me. He had a problem of choice and dislikes. I also scored 90 runs in 40 or 45 balls in the selection trial, yet I was not selected in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy team. Then the time of Corona was going on. Only 20 people used to go with the team, so I lived in the hotel. Then I used to go to the gym and go to my hotel room. At that time I had gone into depression, I was not getting to see the ground. I was not allowed to go to the field. I was very sad. Nobody told me what was my fault. I had scored three half -centuries in six Mushtaq Ali Games in the last season, yet I was not allowed to go to the field. I was very sad.

This decision changed life

When Ashutosh Sharma was going through this bad phase, he was offered a job from the railway, which changed his career. It was from here that he started playing for the railway. Ashutosh's mother Hemlata Sharma also accepted this decision as correct. Hemlata Sharma had said, 'Ashutosh's father (Rambabu Sharma) works in ESI Hospital in Ratlam. We did not have a financial struggle, but Ashutosh had his own struggle from a young age. And when he joined the railway, his stars shone.
