The right-arm Haryana medium-pace bowler first came into the reckoning with his breakthrough performance in the 2012-13 Ranji Trophy season. Mohit Sharma finished as the fifth highest wicket-taker in the season.

The splendid showing earned him an IPL contract as Andy Bichel greeted him into the Chennai Super Kings setup.

The medium-pacer was an instant hit in the T20 competition. Sharma finished with a haul of 20 wickets from 15 matches in his debut season while keeping his economy rate below seven. The stupendous outing catapulted Mohit Sharma into the Indian team. He was selected for the Zimbabwe tour where India could afford experimenting.

Sharma earned the Man of the Match Award on his debut for the spell of 2/26 in his 10 overs. He then remained on the fringes of Indian ODI team and also T20I debut in the 2014 World T20.

The speedster played his last match for India in October 2015 where he was hammered for 84 runs in seven overs by South African batsmen.
