Ashutosh Sharma, Delhi Capitals player
IPL 2025 has caused many surprises, one of which is Ashutosh Sharma of the Delhi capital, who hit 66 from 31 balls and did not stand out and brought his team from a failed jaw to the Lucknow Super Giants.
But he went through his own moment of depression, frustration, failure and despair that proved himself in the competition, and he chose himself when he was only 11 years old.
Ashutosh Sharma shares moments of depression
Spreading through an Instagram story, he shared his traumatic moments and said he couldn’t fall asleep all night, praying to sleep and wait for dawn, when he could go out for a run.
Speaking of the period of depression, he said: “I live alone in Indore. My family lives in Ratram. I can’t fall asleep at night, I can’t fall asleep all night, sometimes I stay at 4am, I wait 2 hours so that I can run before going to bed in the morning.”
Ashutosh Sharma: I can’t fall asleep due to depression
Ashutosh Sharma said: “I couldn’t sleep due to depression and people thought my career in cricket was over. But on the other hand, I told myself that I would do it and I wouldn’t make a comeback.”
Speaking about his determination, the Delhi Capitals player said: “I wrote in the closet to make my comeback stronger.”
With the blessing of resilience and hard work, the boy left the fireplace at the age of 11 and returned home to pursue his dreams, and finally paid off.
When the Delhi Capitals struggled 65/5, he was sent to the court for a 210-game chase.
His contribution proved to be the most critical, as he faced the last 11 goals and 46 runs, and he wrapped the game with the top of his head.
Work with the King of Punjab in IPL 2024
Earlier, he was chosen by the Punjab king. Speaking of IPL 2024, Ashutosh Sharma told the new Indian Express: “I missed a few endings from the last season. I’ve been focusing on and visualizing all year. Believe that if I play until the last game, everything will happen.”
The Punjab king released him before being elected by the Delhi capital. But, he said: “Last year is really good, but it’s history for me. I started working positively from there and working for myself to improve my weaknesses.
Confidence hits six people
Ashutosh Sharma was confident in hitting while playing for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, while Sixes and Shahbaz Ahmed were on the receiving end.
“I’m very confident. It’s part of the game. Whether it’s a campaign or not. It’s not part of my batting, so I’m confident that if he gets a single I’ll be able to hit six people. I’m really confident in my ability.”
