As the most trustworthy frontline bowler for Rajasthan Royals, he was charged with delivering in the powerplay and at the death of the game during the 2023 Indian Premier League season. This was the year that he made his return. With a total of 55 wickets, he is only second to Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the history of the Indian Premier League. He owns the record for being the second-greatest bowler in powerplay overs in the history of the IPL.
He participated in the one thousandth Indian Premier League match, and during the match against Mumbai Indians, he was successful in dismissing Rohit Sharma, the captain of Mumbai Indians, for the sixth time in his career in the IPL. Following an outstanding domestic season with both Punjab and Kings XI Punjab, Sharma was selected for the 15-man team that would go to Zimbabwe for a limited-overs tour in July 2015.
In the Twenty20 International match that took place on July 17, 2015, he made his debut against Zimbabwe. On the other hand, he was unable to live up to the expectations that were placed on him in both of the Twenty20 Internationals that were played against Zimbabwe, when he allowed a significant number of runs to be scored. In addition, he suffered from several back ailments and shoulder difficulties, both of which ultimately led to the termination of his international career. After suffering a stress fracture, he then had a shoulder injury, which combined to prevent him from participating in the sport for around 18 months.
