After which, he had a memorable season in 2014 as he won the Purple Cap. Sharma started to evolve as a pacer and was a regular feature in the Indian team. As a matter of fact, he has played two global tournaments for the Asian side.
During the ODI World Cup in 2015, he picked 13 wickets in eight games at an average of 24.15. While several people thought that he could only get better after this, things went downfall for him post the 2015 WC.
