<p>Asked to bat first, SunRisers Hyderabad saw a new opening pair in Vivrant Sharma and returning batsman Mayank Agarwal taking strides. With nothing to lose, SRH's batters came all guns blazing against an inexperienced Mumbai bowling attack. The left-hand-right-hand combination did wonders for them as both stitched a maiden 100-run-plus stand and completed their respective fifties in the process.</p>

<p>While Vivrant looked like breaking the shackles with the pace at which he was cruising ahead, seamer Akash Madhwal put brakes on it by dismissing him for a well-made 69 off 47 runs. On the other hand, Agarwal continued with the onslaught as he approached his first hundred of the season.</p>

IPL 2023: Cameron Green's maiden ton powers Mumbai to 8-wicket win over SRH, inch closer to playoffs berth

<p>Jammu and Kashmir's Vivrant Sharma made quite a buzz at the bidding table during the ongoing 2023 mini-auction in Kochi. After a few biggies including Sam Curran, Cameron Green and Ben Stokes made headlines going for super-high&nbsp;amounts, local talents like Vivrant Sharma managed to carve some space of themselves too. Slated to go under the hammer at&nbsp;a base price of 20 lakhs, Vivrant's bid went up to 2.6 crores - a deal that was sealed by SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH).&nbsp;</p>

<p>But who is this Vivrant Sharma? And how he managed to bag such a price despite being an unknown entity among the most of Indian fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Vivrant Sharma is a 23-year-old budding all-rounder from J&amp;K who bats left-handed and bowls leg spin. He was first introduced to the SRH camp by his now teammate&nbsp;Abdul Samad during this year's IPL as a net bowler. By then, Vivrant had just made his List-A debut and had played a few T20 games for his state as well.</p>

<p>Upon grabbing attention as a net bowler, Vivrant showed what he is capable of with the bat in hand in the following Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he scored 395 runs in 8 matches including a magnificent hundred and two fifties.</p>

<p>While his numbers in the domestic circuit aren't bad either. In the 14 List A matches played, Vivrant has scored 519 runs, whereas, in the 9 T20s he has 190 runs to his name at a strike rate close to 130.
