Strangely enough, there appears to be some sort of connection between Himanshu Sharma and Virat Kohli. Himanshu Sharma made his IPL 2023 debut against the Gujarat Titans, representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Shubman Gill answered with a ton of his own to eliminate RCB from the tournament, despite the fact that Virat Kohli had already made a century on that particular day.
Himanshu Sharma returned to the field on Saturday to participate in his second IPL match as an Impact Player. The 25-year-old took the place of Saurav Chauhan, a rookie who had amassed nine runs off of six balls. In order to help RCB collect 183 runs, Virat Kohli struck his seventh IPL century.
The unremarkable IPL 2023 debut of Himanshu Sharma may have gone unnoticed by the fans. Himanshu Sharma left internet users perplexed and wondering just who this player is.
Himanshu Sharma: A little-known star who achieved success
Everyone was shocked when Himanshu Sharma’s name was mentioned at the IPL 2023 auctions. Royal Challenger Bengaluru paid INR 20 lakh for the young player, who had hardly played any domestic cricket.
After more research, it was discovered that Royal Challengers Bengaluru had used an alternative method to scout the player. Malolan Rangarajan claims that the Indian cricket team used a technique of artificial intelligence known as “Hinterland Scouting.”

Himanshu had played very little domestic cricket, so this came as a great surprise. It was also discovered that the child is a resident of Rajasthan and was born in the town of Sikar. The right-arm wrist spinner conceded 28 runs in three overs during his maiden match against the Gujarat Titans.
He still has no domestic experience, and Rajasthan hasn’t used him in any of their squads. This marks the first instance in cricket history where a player has been scouted using technology. The young spinner has a bright career ahead of him and is highly skilled, according to several in the RCB camp. Himanshu Sharma has the potential to become a star player and possibly make the national squad if he can perform well.
