What Happened
Ashok Sharma, 23, clocked 154.2 kph for Gujarat Titans against Rajasthan Royals in IPL. The fast bowler trained in a corridor outside his home in Rampura, near Jaipur. His brother Akshay sacrificed his cricket career to support him. Fast bowling talent emerges from non-traditional cricket regions. However, high pace alone doesn't guarantee consistent IPL or international selection, as seen with Mayank Yadav and Umran Malik.
