Karn Vinod Sharma (born 23 October 1987 in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh is a cricketer.
Playing career
He plays as an all-rounder for the Railways cricket team. He is a left-hand batsman and leg break bowler.
He made his first-class debut in 2007/08 Ranji season at Karnail Singh Stadium against Jammu and Kashmir where he played as a specialist batsman and scored 120 off 232 balls with 17 boundaries as Railways cricket team won by innings and 88 runs.
He was signed up by the IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013. In a line-up comprising Dale Steyn, Thisara Perera and Amit Mishra, young Sharma was the bowler the opposition batsmen were expected to target.
He responded with a mature performance. His performance against Kings XI Punjab early on in the tournament was ample proof of his potential, as he beat the Kings XI batsmen with his spin.
He fortified an already strong bowling attack with a decent economy rate and was a good foil to Amit Mishra, the senior legspinner in the side. When he was given the chance also contributed with the bat scoring a stubborn unbeaten 39 when Sunrisers Hyderabad was staring at their first home defeat against Chennai Super Kings.
Style
He is having a busy action and it contributes to every delivery and he makes batsmen hurry their shots. But most important, he seems to have the big legbreak.
