Sharma has been brought into the KKR team from the TATA IPL 2023 auction in December 2022 at his base price of Rs 20 lakhs. In an interview with Revsportz, the 19-year-old from Delhi revealed that he started playing cricket as a batsman but later shifted to leg spin as he wanted to try something unique.
Many were surprised to see the performance of this young leg spinner that day because surprisingly he had no experience of playing professional cricket. He had not played a single List-A, First Class or domestic T20 before this and was picked up in the KKR squad after playing for the Delhi Under-25 team.

After the match, KKR head coach Chandrakant Pandit said about Suyash Sharma, “We saw him in trial matches and were extremely happy with the way he bowled. He’s quick through the air, difficult to pick. He’s inexperienced but shows a very good attitude”.
KKR’s new captain Nitish Rana also said, “Suyash is a confident young man and he has belief in himself. He made his chance count and it was great to see him bowl that way”.
