IPL 2026 Auction: Who says there cannot be a hole in the sky, friends, throw a stone with all your heart… These lines of Dushyant Kumar fit perfectly on Brijesh Sharma of Udhampur. This unknown player threw the stone with gusto and he has also created a hole in the sky of IPL. Brijesh Sharma is a right-arm fast bowler and Rajasthan Royals have placed a bet on him. Although this player was bought at a base price of only Rs 30 lakhs, but the big thing is that till the age of 27, no one knew this player but now the world has started knowing him.
Brijesh’s father is a laborer
We will tell later why Rajasthan Royals bought Brijesh in the IPL auction, but first know the struggle of this player. Brijesh belongs to a very poor family. His father works as a laborer in Udhampur to support his family. Mother used to work as a cleaner in a school and now her son Brijesh will be seen playing in IPL.
Although Brijesh Sharma is a resident of Udhampur, he got entry into IPL by performing well in the Bengal Pro T20 League. This right-arm fast bowler played for Sobisco Smashers Malda this year and took 11 wickets in 7 matches. Seeing the amazing performance of Brijesh, Rajasthan Royals invited him for the trial and this player passed it.
