It was no surprise when Sharma made his mark in the recent EurAsia tournament with two half-centuries in three matches, including 62 against Pakistan A, where he batted in the middle order. He'd exuded class at No. 3 in the Under-19 World Cup - barring the final, when the entire Indian line-up was blown away by rampant Pakistan fast bowlers - and displayed the key quality for that position: adaptability. Sharma is equally happy in the role of accumulator or aggressor, depending on the game situation. He is also a more than useful offspinner - a skill he will no doubt be looking to hone so as to have a second string in his bow. He was rewarded with a call-up to the Indian one-day squad for the short tour of Ireland in June 2007. But it was in the India's triumphant World Twenty20 campaign that he walked into public imagination with a sparkling fifty against South Africa. Sharma indicated that he belonged to the big league during the CB Series in Australia in early 2008, scoring two fifties, including a vital 66 in India's win in the first final in Sydney. He enhanced his status in the Indian Premier League, where, after being bought for US$750,000 by the Deccan Chargers, he made 404 runs at 36.73 including four fifties. Sharma earned a surprise call-up to the Indian squad for the three-Test series against Sri Lanka.
