Sandeep Sharma one of the most underrated bowlers in history.
Matches – 118
Wickets – 125
Econ – 7.86
S/R – 21.1
Today you can add 5/18 off 4 overs to the above.— Tom Moody (@TomMoodyCricket)
Sandeep Sharma is easily the most underrated IPL player. Goes about his job silently, is very brainy andꦡ a wicket-taker. 193 T20 wickets at 7.5 Ec🌠onomy. Not a bad idea to consider him for World T20, I think.
