Clean and clear striking down the ground, coupled with a cool head and excellent temperament were the hallmarks of Ashutosh라이브 바카라 match-winning performance – the same traits which had defined his batting for Punjab Kings in the last edition
Ashutosh Sharma has done it again. Ashutosh Sharma has made it a habit to come out to bat in high-pressure situations in a run-chase and blast his team라이브 바카라 way to victory. It was almost déjà vu at Visakhapatnam on Monday as Ashutosh, now the number 5 for his new franchise – Delhi Capitals, hammered a stunning unbeaten 66 off just 31 deliveries to power his team to a sensational one-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in their opening match in IPL 2025.

Ashutosh came out to bat as the Impact substitute at 65 for 5 with Capitals in the doldrums chasing a stiff 210. It was , just the way he had unleashed last season, lighting the stadium with his breathtaking stroke-play, leaving the LSG bowlers in shock and disarray. Clean and clear striking down the ground, coupled with a cool head and excellent temperament were the hallmarks of Ashutosh라이브 바카라 match-winning performance – the same traits which had defined his batting for Punjab Kings in the last edition.
It was the 17th match of IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Punjab Kings, chasing a stiff 200, needed 50 off 27 deliveries with just four wickets in hand when Ashutosh joined Shashank Singh at the crease. The rest is history! Ashutosh hammered a match-winning 31 off just 17 deliveries, dominating the 43-run stand with Shashank as PBKS stormed to victory off the penultimate ball of the match.
Ashutosh wasn’t a one-match pony but a stallion for the long race. He joined hands with Shashank at 114 for 6 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mullanpur and blasted an undefeated 33 off just 15 deliveries even as his team fell agonizingly short of the 183-run target to go down by two runs. Ashutosh and Shashank put together a smashing 66-run partnership off just 27 deliveries for the seventh-wicket giving a real scare to the Sunrisers.
He seemed to always give his best when the chips were down and when his team needed him the most. Ashutosh came out to bat with PBKS in tatters at 103 for 6 against Rajasthan Royals and top-scored for his franchise with a cameo 31 off 16 deliveries. Even as others struggled to lay bat to ball, Ashutosh cleared the ropes with ease and gave his team something to fight for.
The party wasn’t over just yet. The more hopeless the situation, the better would be the response from Ashutosh. He came out to bat with his franchise in dire straits (which had often been the case with PBKS in the last few years) at 77 for 6 chasing 193 against Mumbai Indians at Mullanpur and tonked a mind-boggling 61 off just 28 deliveries. His breathtaking performance took PBKS to within striking distance of the target. However, they were bowled out for 183 with five deliveries still remaining in the chase. The standout feature of Ashutosh라이브 바카라 knock was his seven sixes. He did not care for reputation or pace as he got stuck into Gerald Coetzee and even slog swept a yorker from the great Jasprit Bumrah for a maximum!
Ashutosh라이브 바카라 heroics for his new franchise – the Delhi Capitals – weren’t just a fluke or a flash in the pan. He has done this – that is scored tough runs under pressure, time and again, taking his team from near impossible situations, especially in run-chases, to the brink of victory.
There is a method to his madness too. Ashutosh라이브 바카라 favourite shot is the pull shot, which has fetched him 65 runs off just 29 deliveries in the IPL at a strike rate of 224. He is also brilliant straight down the ground and has hammered 26 runs off just seven deliveries with the straight drive. Ashutosh mixes aggressive conventional strokeplay with high-quality unorthodox hitting and is quite adept at playing the paddle scoop too.
Ashutosh stormed into the limelight when he smoked an 11-ball fifty for Railways against Arunachal Pradesh in the 2023 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in Ranchi. Batting at number 6, he smashed 53 off just 12 deliveries in a knock which contained eight towering sixes! It remains the fastest T20 fifty ever by an Indian batter and the second-fastest overall!
Ashutosh has an astonishing record in all T20 cricket and scores his runs at the rate of knots. He has blasted 838 runs in 29 innings at a sensational strike rate of 184.6, smashing 64 fours and almost as many sixes (63)! His scoring rate is the highest in T20 history for a minimum of 800 runs! Still early days, but this is no mean achievement and showcases the sheer destructiveness of Ashutosh라이브 바카라 batting. He is some talent!
