Sandeep Sharma and Wanindu Hasaranga have both been constants in RR’s bowling line ups this season. The former has been their end overs specialist, forming a potent partnership with Jofra Archer. Sharma has also been clever with his bowling in the powerplay, conceding at less than 7 despite field restrictions.
Overall, Sandeep Sharma has 9 wickets in 10 games. He fractured his finger in the last game, but finished his spell battling through pain. On the eve of the RR vs MI clash, the veteran pacer was spotted with a sling around his arm.
