Cricket player Karn Vinod Sharma hails from the city of Meerut. He is a talented all-rounder who now plays for the Railways Cricket Club. At the moment, he is a member of the Royal Challengers Bangalore club, although he has actively participated in several other Indian Premier League teams. Not only is he a superb left-handed hitter, but he is also an outstanding leg-break bowler. The year 2014 was the year that he made his debut in the Twenty20 international against England, which marked the beginning of his great career in competitive cricket.
On November 13, 2014, he made his first appearance in a match against Sri Lanka. As a result of his terrible first performance with the ball, he was unable to bat for the squad, which was a great disappointment. On December 9, 2014, he made his debut in the Test match against Australia, which was one month after he had made his debut in the One-Day International. Throughout the match, he was successful in dismissing his Indian Premier League colleague David Warner twice and claiming four wickets in the first two innings. Despite this, he was only able to score eight runs in the span of two innings.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise of the Indian Premier League signed him in the year 2013. It was expected that the batsmen of the opposing team would target young Sharma as the bowler in a lineup that also featured Dale Steyn, Thisara Perera, and Amit Mishra. In response, he maintained his composure throughout the performance. As he exploited his spin to overcome the Kings XI batters, his early tournament performance against Kings XI Punjab showed solid proof of his skill. His performance was a good example of his abilities.

During the Indian Premier League auctions in 2014, Sunrisers Hyderabad purchased him for a total of Rs 3.75 crore after engaging in a fierce bidding war with Kings XI Punjab. He was the highest-paid uncapped Indian player in the Indian Premier League in 2014. In 2015, the Sunrisers Hyderabad decided to keep him on as their primary spin bowler. He is a part of the team. Following his inclusion in the team for the 2016 Indian Premier League season, he went on to win the championship with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The Chennai Super Kings purchased him in January 2018, for a total of ₹5 crores, at the auction that took place for the 2018 Indian Premier League. Not only did he go on to win the trophy that year, but he also possessed the remarkable distinction of being the three-time winner of the Indian Premier League with three separate organizations. When the Indian Premier League 2022 auction took place in February 2022, the Royal Challengers Bangalore was the team that acquired his services.
Karan Sharma, the captain of Uttar Pradesh, led his side to a win against Mumbai by two wickets by scoring an unbeaten 67 at the beginning of the match. As a result of this victory, Uttar Pradesh now has 11 points after four games, whereas Mumbai has already accumulated 20 points. In addition, Aryan Juyal contributed to Uttar Pradesh by scoring 76 runs. However, on Monday at the Wankhede Stadium, he proved to be the hero of his side by overcoming a wrist injury and hitting an unbeaten 67 (173 runs, 5 wickets, 2 wickets) to lead UP to a victory against Mumbai, who were now in first place in the league.
As a result of UP’s first win in the Ranji Trophy since January 2006, which was an outright triumph against Mumbai, the team came away with six points, bringing their total to eleven points after competing in four games. Because Mumbai has accumulated 20 points in the same number of games, they would want to see this as a minor setback before they face Bengal in Kolkata on February 2. After limiting Mumbai to 320 in their second innings on the last day of the match, they are now attempting to chase 195.

Karan and Aryan Juyal (76, 100 balls, 10×4, 1×6) put up a combination that resulted in 104 runs for the third wicket. This partnership occurred after the visitors had fallen to 16-2. As Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Punjab Kings in the sixth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, M Chinnaswamy Stadium is gearing up to stage a brilliant and exhilarating Monday night battle.
When superstars like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and others would step out onto the pitch for some mouth-watering face-offs, the RCB Unbox event was only a curtain raiser for how impressive the atmosphere might be. There will be no shortage of home support, and the Royal Challengers will be looking forward to the same kind of enthusiasm that they had in the Chepauk stadium, which was painted yellow last week. Even though they scored more than 170 runs against Chennai Super Kings, the guys in blue and red were ultimately unsuccessful and ended up losing.
Even though it was just the beginning of the competition, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team’s only objective will be to return to winning ways when they face Punjab. To accomplish this goal, the hosts will be looking to make a few adjustments to their bowling lineup in addition to wishing for their hitters to perform better than they have in the past. Due to his costly performance against the reigning champions in their most recent match, Karn Sharma may be subject to termination. The franchise may decide to replace Alzarri Joseph with Lokie Ferguson, a New Zealand pacer, and give Himanshu Sharma, a rookie legspinner, his first appearance in the Indian Premier League.
