Sandeep Sharma is unlucky that he was not given enough chances by the Indian selectors. He has been phenomenal in white-ball cricket. Sandeep has made match-winning contributions for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League 2024. He has been named the Player of the Match in a couple of matches.
In Qualifier 2 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he bowled a perfect Yorker to Heinrich Klaasen, who couldn’t do anything apart from walking back to the dugout.
Former batter Navjot Singh Sidhu compared Sandeep to Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram.
Sharma’s variations have made life tough for the rival batters. He took a five-wicket haul against Mumbai Indians.
“Heinrich Klaasen was looking dangerous but Sandeep Sharma was not worried. His Yorker reminds me of Waqar Younis. It was a perfect ball to one of the best batters in white-ball cricket,” he said on Star Sports.
Sidhu then found similarities between Sandeep and Akram.
“He has a lot of variations and is like Wasim Akram, who kept the batters guessing during his playing days,” he added.
Heinrich scored 50 off 34, laced with 4 sixes.
