Brijesh Sharma is a right-arm medium pacer from Bengal who earned his IPL breakthrough with Rajasthan Royals at the 2026 auction, picked up for his base price of INR 30 lakh. The 27-year-old seamer caught the attention of scouts with his performances in the 2025 Bengal Pro T20 League, where he finished joint-fifth on the wickets chart with 11 scalps in just seven games. What makes his rise particularly noteworthy is that he was yet to make his debut in any professional format at the time of his IPL selection, highlighting the growing impact of franchise-based domestic T20 leagues in unearthing talent. As he prepares to make his mark at the highest level, Sharma represents an intriguing addition to Rajasthan Royals’ pace attack.
