IPL 2022: Gujarat Titans named former India pacer as net bowler, fans expressed surprise

Mohit Sharma was made the net bowler-

The 33-year-old Sharma found no takers in the IPL 2022 mega auction last month.

The Haryana cricketer was with the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led CSK between 2013 and 2015 before moving to Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) from 2016–2018, and returned to CSK in 2019. He also worked with Delhi Capitals in 2020. Overall, the bowler has 92 wickets in 86 IPL games.

He could not show amazing in the red jersey-

Sharma has played 26 ODIs and eight T20Is, he was also part of the Indian team that made it to the 2014 ICC World T20 final in Bangladesh and the 2015 World Cup semi-final co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.

Sharma’s career graph started going down after CSK’s two-year suspension. Although he was included by KXIP, he could not show his old brilliance in the red jersey. Sharma tried to recreate the magic of 2014 for CSK in 2019 but he was nowhere near his best. He hardly made an impact in 2020 even with Delhi Capitals, conceding just one game in the season and bowling with figures of 1/45.
