SUMMARY
SUMMARY
Chetan Sharma is a former Indian medium pacer who represented India in 23 Tests and 65 ODIs. At the age of 16, Sharma started playing first-class cricket for Haryana. He made his Test debut at the age of 18, a year after making his ODI debut against the West Indies in December 1983. With his fifth delivery in Test cricket, he picked up the wicket of Mohsin Khan, becoming only the third Indian to take a wicket in their first over in Test cricket.
Sharma didn't have a strong physique, but he more than made up for his built with his inspiring performances.
In 1985, Sharma picked up 14 wickets in three Tests against Sri Lanka. Later that year in the World Series Cup in Australia, India needed a win against New Zealnd to reach the final. Sharma played a match-winning innings of 38* and helped India down New Zealand by 22 runs.
Sharma is also remembered for bowling the last over in the final of the Austral-Asia cup in 1986. With Pakistan needing 4 off the last ball to win, Sharma ended up bowling a low full toss to Javed Miandad, who carved him for a six.
Sharma also played a major role in India's 2-0 Test series win over England in 1986. He took 16 wickets in two Tests, including a career best 6/58 in the second innings at Birmingham. He ended the match with 10 wickets in total. In the 1987 World Cup, Sharma took the first hat-trick in the tournament's history. He picked up the wickets of New Zealand's Ken Rutherford, Ian Smith and Ewen Chatfield with successive balls.
Sharma was an able batsman as well. In 1989, he scored his maiden ODI ton against England in the MRF World Series match. He achieved this milestone after he was promoted to No. 4 in the batting order, helping India win by 6 wickets. With the ball, Sharma was the first choice opening partner with Kapil Dev for almost 5 years. Sharma played his last Test against the West Indies in 1989. However, he continued to play ODIs for India till 1994. Sharma finished his international career with 61 Test and 67 ODI wickets.
In 1993, Sharma shifted from Haryana to Bengal and stayed with them till the end of his career in 1996/97. He ended his first-class career with 433 wickets from 121 games. He also scored 3714 runs with an average of 35.03, hitting 3 centuries and 21 fifties in a span of 15 years.
Post-retirement, Chetan Sharma has taken up television commentary. He also fought the 2009 Lok Sabha Elections for Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) from Faridabad.
