    About Chetan Sharma

    Chetan Sharma made cricket history as the first bowler to take a hat-trick in the ICC Cricket World Cup during the 1987 tournament. Born in Ludhiana, Punjab, he honed his bowling skills under the mentorship of Dronacharya Award-winning coach Desh Prem Azad in Chandigarh. Sharma entered international cricket at age seventeen, debuting against the West Indies in an ODI in December 1983. Operating as a brisk medium-pacer with notable outswing, he quickly established himself in the national squad. During the 1987 World Cup clash against New Zealand in Nagpur, he achieved his career-defining feat by clean bowling Ken Rutherford, Ian Smith, and Ewen Chatfield off consecutive deliveries. In Test cricket, he claimed a memorable ten-wicket match haul against England at Edgbaston in 1986, spearheading India to a historic series victory. Sharma also showcased batting prowess by scoring an unbeaten century against England in 1989. Following retirement, he served as the chairman of the national selection committee. His historic World Cup hat-trick remains an indelible benchmark in Indian cricket history.
