Timeline

1966

Chetan Sharma (born 3 January 1966) is an Indian former cricket player who played Tests and ODIs as a fast bowler for Indian cricket team.

1984

Making his first appearance in Tests against Pakistan at Lahore in 1984, he bowled Mohsin Khan with his fifth ball – becoming the third Indian to take a wicket in his first over in Test cricket.

1985

He was also a part of the Indian squad which won the 1985 World Championship of Cricket.

After retirement Sharma appeared as a cricket pundit at multiple Indian TV news networks.

He took fourteen wickets in the three Tests in Sri Lanka in 1985.

Later that season in Australia, with India needing a win in the last match of the league to qualify for the final of the World Series Cup.

1986

Sharma was an important member of the Indian team that defeated England 2–0 in 1986.

He took sixteen wickets in the two Tests that he played.

He took 10 wickets at Birmingham, including a career best 6 for 58 in the second innings.

It remains the only 10 wicket haul by an Indian in England.

He also is one of the few Indian pacers, like his mentor Kapil Dev, to take a 5 wicket haul in his 32 over spell to end with 5-64 and also have his name permanently etched in the Hall of Fame board at Lord's Cricket Ground.

Though only twenty at this time, he picked up frequent injuries which restricted his career.

When available, he was the first choice as the opening bowler with Kapil Dev for the next three years.

For his ability to get useful runs down the order that too at quick rate, Sharma was seen as a natural successor to Kapil Dev in the all-rounder category.

By the early nineties, his bowling had dropped in pace and sharpness and his strike rate dropped considerably.

Sharma is widely known for bowling the last ball to Pakistani batsman Javed Miandad in the 1986 Austral-Asia Cup final.

Pakistan needed four runs to win off the final ball, and Miandad's towering, last-ball six constituted the first instance until then that an international game had ended in that manner.

Sharma is also infamously remembered for bowling the last over in the final of the Austral-Asia cup in Sharjah in 1986.

With Pakistan needing four runs off the last ball to win, he bowled a low full toss outside the leg stump, which was hit for six by Javed Miandad.

That defeat started a chain of defeats for Indian cricket team in Sharjah.

After his retirement, Chetan became a cricket commentator.

1987

Sharma was the first man to take a hat-trick in a Cricket World Cup, achieving this feat in the 1987 Cricket World Cup against New Zealand.

His hat-trick was also the first time an Indian bowler took one in the ODI format.

In the Reliance World Cup in 1987, Sharma took the first hat-trick in the history of tournament when he clean bowled Ken Rutherford, Ian Smith and Ewen Chatfield of New Zealand off consecutive balls.

1989

He played the most noted innings of his career against England in the Nehru Cup in 1989.

Sent in at No.3 with India facing a target of 256, he scored a 101* in 96 balls, completing his hundred with the match-winning run.

He made another important contribution in India's win against Australia in the next match, sharing an unfinished partnership of 40 runs with Manoj Prabhakar and ending the match with a six.

But his bowling had waned considerably and he was excluded from the tour of Pakistan a few weeks later.

Sharma received few opportunities thereafter.

1993

He moved from Haryana to Bengal in 1993 and stayed there till the end of his career in 1996.

1994

In one of his last international appearances, against New Zealand in a three nations tournament in 1994 he ended up with figures of 1–0–23–0 after being hit for five fours off consecutive balls by Stephen Fleming.

2004

He opened a Fast bowling cricket academy in Panchkula in Haryana in 2004 which closed down in 2009.

Chetan is the nephew of the former Indian cricketer Yashpal Sharma.
