Five greatest cricketers from Haryana

#2. Chetan Sharma

Chetan Sharma is the first Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in ODIs

Chetan Sharma is the first Indian bowler to claim a hat-trick in ODIs and is also the only third Indian to a take a wicket in his first over in Tests. Also, he debuted at the early age of 18 and in first-class cricket at the age of 16.

His achievements in bowling are tremendous but he is best remembered for being at the receiving end when Javed Miandad slammed the famous last ball six at Sharjah.

That was the lowest point in Sharma's cricket career and he received heavy flak for conceding that six.

However, despite that unforgettable six, Sharma's bowling stats are incredible. He is the first Indian to claim a ten-wicket haul in England and has 61 wickets in 23 Tests. He also has 67 wickets in 63 ODI innings.

His batting skills were handy too and he often responded effectively when asked to bat in the top order. In 1985, he scored a fifty as a night watchman against Australia and produced a hundred while batting at number four against England in MRF World Series match in 1989.
