Amit Sharma (born November 20, 1974 in Jalandhar, Punjab), is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler. Amit Sharma was considered as an allrounder and was the captain of the U-19 team that visited England in 1994 season and won the test series 1-0 that included a test match century in the second game. The team lost 2-0 in the ODI series. Prominent members of the squad who made it to International cricket included VVS Laxman, Hrishikesh Kanitkar and Iqbal Siddiqui. The England team featured Marcus Trescothick, Michael Vaughan and Vikram Solanki in their squad.

Amit Sharma made his debut in Ranji Trophy domestic cricket in the 1992/93 season but never achieved his true potential. He never received an opportunity to play International Cricket and retired from domestic cricket after the 2003/04 season.

A little known fact is that Amit Sharma sang for Mother Night, a hardcore punk band based out of New Brunswick, NJ. They were notable more for their drunken antics, than for the quality of their music.

Pizza is very important to Mr. Sharma, particularly with much crushed red pepper.
