Ashok Sharma is being touted as the next big thing from India's fast bowling stable. But in his village, Rampura, on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, around 35 km from Rajasthan's capital Jaipur, his family speaks about his biggest dream -- the blue jersey. Ashok Sharma has picked up six wickets in five matches this season so far for Gujarat Titans.

Ashok Sharma’s journey from a farming village near Jaipur to clocking 150 kph is a story of sacrifice, mentorship and unwavering belief in pace. Guided by his late coach Vivek Yadav, backed by Anshu Jain, and shaped by advice from Pat Cummins and Bharat Arun, the 23-year-old has emerged as the standout bowler of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. With raw speed now married to control, Ashok is fast becoming the speedster to watch out for.
