Hyderabad franchise is just one of those very franchises that are looking for some new faces to add for the 16th edition of the cash-rich Indian T20 tournament. The list has got the recent inclusion of a young 23-year-old batter from J&K, Vivrant Sharma.

The J&K opening batter was introduced in the auction at the base price of INR 20 lakh. The first bidding war for Vivrant was started between Kolkata and Hyderabad. Subsequently, Hyderabad went on to take a lead in the war and confirmed Vivrant’s slot in their team at the amount of INR 2.6 crores for the 2023 edition of the tournament.

The 23-year-old played a crucial role in J&K’s entry to the knockouts of the Vijay Hazare Trophy for the first time this year. He smashed a brilliant century-knock of 154 runs off 124 deliveries with 18 boundaries and six sixes to his name.

Riding on this brilliant knock from Vivrant, J&K outplayed the Uttarakhand by a massive margin of nine wickets earlier in the month of November during the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

The interesting fact about this young lad Sharma is that he started batting right-handed firstly but later on he changed his batting position to left-handed following his brother’s footmarks.

He has made nine appearances in T20 cricket to smash 191 runs with a decent strike rate of 128.28. Apart from this, the J&K lad has also shown his brilliance with the bowl by registering his best performance of 4/13.
