IPL Auction 2023: Who is Vivrant Sharma? Sunrisers Hyderabad's new power hitter from Jammu

Jammu’s Vivrant Sharma was among the few unheralded talents, who had a big payday at the IPL Auction 2023 when he was bought for Rs 2.6 crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad in Kochi on Friday. IPL 2023 Auction:  Players sold/unsold Starting at a base price of Rs 20 lakh, Sharma wouldn’t have bagged in crores if not for a persistent Kolkata Knight Riders, who fought hard for the player but in the end it was SRH, who were willing to pay 13 times the base price of the Jammu all-rounder.

I must admit I’m so much delighted to see Vivrant Sharma escalating a kind of bidding war! While I knew both KKR and SRH are interested in him, hadn’t expected to go at 2.6 CR! A thread on him coming shortly! Here’s a video of his batting ⤵️ #IPLAuction
