Ashok Sharma, a bowler, spent a single IPL season with Gujarat Titans, 2026: 6 matches, 1 run, 6 wickets.

The arrival

Ashok Sharma arrived through the auction: Gujarat Titans paid ₹90 lakh, against a base price of ₹30 lakh. That debut came after going unsold twice (2023 and 2024).

That first season brought 6 matches, 1 run and 6 wickets at 10.77 an over.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 6 wickets in 127 deliveries, at 10.77 runs an over against a league rate of 9.73 for the same seasons: 1.04 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.

The fielding record: 2 catches.

At the auction

Ashok Sharma has gone under the hammer five times, bought three times and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹90 lakh, paid by Gujarat Titans in 2026, more than 3 times the base price. Unsold in 2023, Ashok Sharma was bought again in 2025 by Rajasthan Royals. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2022 and Rajasthan Royals in 2025.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
