From Corridor to 154 Kmph: GT Pacer Ashok Sharma's Journey
8 Apr
Summary
- Older brother Akshay gave up cricket to support Ashok's journey.
- Ashok Sharma's bowling speed reached 154.2 kmph.
- Ashok faced setbacks, including release from Rajasthan Royals.
The remarkable rise of cricketer Ashok Sharma, who bowls at speeds up to 154.2 kmph, is a testament to familial sacrifice. It began with a younger brother, Ashok, bowling fast to hit his elder brother, Akshay, in their home corridor. This childhood rivalry evolved into a serious pursuit of cricket.
Akshay Sharma ultimately sacrificed his own cricketing ambitions, stepping aside so Ashok could attend an academy. Their father, Nathulal, supported Ashok's enrollment at the Aravali Cricket Academy in Jaipur, despite financial challenges. Ashok quickly progressed, making the Rajasthan Under-19 team in 2019.
