Ashutosh Sharma's 'switch hit' act for Pietersen after IPL epic, repeatedly points at dugout; DC mentor on cloud nine
Hindustan TimesAshutosh Sharma was shockingly snubbed by Punjab Kings last October as the franchise released him before the mega auction despite an array of breathtaking shows in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League. Ashutosh Sharma paid tribute to Kevin Pietersen after IPL knock vs LSG Delhi were staring down the barrel in their chase of 210 after being reduced to 65 for five when Faf du Plessis got out on 29 in his first match for the franchise. Needing 22 off the final two overs and six off the last six balls with one wicket remaining, Ashutosh stood strong and hit the winning six. After smashing the winning six, an ecstatic Ashutosh got down on one knee and made a 'switch hit' gesture for the team's newly-announced mentor, Kevin Pietersen, before repeatedly pointing towards the dugout to seek his attention.
