He had often been compared to fellow Haryanan Kapil Dev, India's greatest all
rounder, due to his similar aggressive batting style and fast bowling.
Sharma found a place for himself in the 2007 Twenty-20 World Cup in South
Africa. He bowled the final over in India's closely fought semifinal victory over
Australia in the tournament with 22 runs required, taking two wickets as India
won by 15 runs.
He also bowled the final over in the final against Pakistan with thirteen runs
required and only one wicket in hand. His first ball went for a wide and the
third was a full toss which was straight driven by Misbah-ul-Haq. Misbah
attempted to scoop the ball over the fine leg fielder from the fourth ball but
was caught by Sreesanth, giving India the win.
