Vivrant Sharma (born 30 October 1999) is an Indian domestic cricketer.[1] An integral part of the Jammu & Kashmir middle order, he came into the limelight for his explosive batting in the 2022-23 Vijay Hazare Trophy. He was Jammu & Kashmir's highest run scorer in the tournament amassing 395 runs at an average of 56.42.[2]

He made his Twenty20 debut on 4 November 2021, for Jammu & Kashmir in the 2021–22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.[3] After spending a year with Sunrisers Hyderabad as a net bowler, he was bought by them for Rs 2.6 crore, 13 times his base price in the 2023 Indian Premier League auction.[4] He was released by Sunrisers Hyderabad in November 2023 after just one season.[5]

Early life

Vivrant Sharma was born on 30 October 1999 in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.[6]

Vivrant pursued his schooling in BSF senior secondary school and shifted his focus to cricket post his intermediate studies.[7]

After losing his father Sushil Sharma at the age of 14 to a kidney failure, Vivrant's brother Vikrant took over the family responsibilities and made Vivrant concentrate on developing his cricket skills.[8]

Vivrant started off as a right-handed batter, but in his sixth standard, following the footsteps of his brother Vikrant, he switched to become a left-handed batter and a leg spin bowler.[9]
