The 17th season of IPL is going to start by the end of next month, so the schedule of the upcoming season can be announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) at any time. So all the teams are seen finalizing their preparations for this season.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings, the runners-up of IPL 2014, are also seen finalizing their preparations. So the story of young player Ashutosh Sharma, who was recently included in the team, is quite interesting. Let us give you information about his story.

Let us tell you that this is about the batting camp organized by Punjab Kings in Mumbai recently. Here a player named Ashutosh Sharma was waiting for the franchise’s head of cricket Sanjay Bangar. This was the same Bangar, who was working for Kochi Tuskers, now out of IPL, and at that time Ashutosh had clicked a selfie with him.

Let us tell you that in that IPL season, Ashutosh was working as a ball boy in the ground and he had clicked this selfie with Bangar. But no one would have imagined that one day this ball boy would be seen playing for Punjab Kings under the coaching of Sanjay Bangar.

Special things about Ashutosh Sharma

Let us tell you that Ashutosh said about his cricket journey – I remember my meeting with Bangar sir. I was 10-11 years old at that time. I had asked him for advice regarding my batting. But now my dream has come true and I will play for Punjab Kings, and under their coaching.

So if we give you information about Ashutosh, he belongs to Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh. However, after getting limited opportunities here, he left for Indore to hone his cricket. Here he started taking coaching at Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association Academy.

Let us tell you that last year he came into limelight by scoring a half-century in 11 balls in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, when he broke the record of Yuvraj Singh. Well, now it will be worth watching whether he gets a chance to play for Punjab Kings in the debut season or not?
