Delhi Capitals\u2019 Ashutosh Sharma<\/a> made his club cricket debut in England, scoring 100 in 73 deliveries on Saturday (May 31).<\/p>\n Ashutosh has been signed by Wigan Cricket Club<\/a> in the 2025 Liverpool and District Cricket Competition, part of the ECB Premier League structure. He made his debut for the side today and left an immediate impression with a hundred at No.5 against Formby CC.<\/p>\n Walking out with the score at 17-3 in 9.5 overs, Ashutosh, along with opener Aveen Dalugod, stitched together a 153-run stand in 23.4 overs. Ashutosh struck eight fours and six sixes, batting at a strike rate of 136.99, as he rescued the team from a precarious position, reaching his hundred from 70 balls.<\/p>\n He failed to add another run however and his dismissal, in the 34th over, led to another collapse, as Wigan fell from 170-3 to 195-7 after 41 overs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Ashutosh only arrived in the UK early this morning. He had a breakout IPL season last year, when he made 189 runs at a strike rate of 167.25. He was bought by Delhi Capitals<\/a> from Punjab Kings ahead of the season, and scored 204 runs at an average of 29.14 in 2025 with a strike rate of 160.62.<\/p>\n Delhi failed to qualify for the IPL playoffs, which opened up the opportunity for Ashutosh to fly to England for the fixture. <\/p>\n Ashutosh has played 14 List A games along with 44 T20s, and is yet to score a hundred in white-ball professional cricket. He has also played eight first-class games, with an average of 28.46 and a high score of 123.<\/p>\n Ashutosh isn’t the only Indian to play club cricket in England this summer. Earlier, KS Bharat, who was unsold in the 2025 IPL auction, signed up with Dulwich CC<\/a> for the Surrey Championship. He made 134 in 108 balls against Esher CC on debut<\/a>, helping the side to 318-8 earlier this month.<\/p>\n Follow Wisden for all cricket updates, including <\/strong>live scores<\/a><\/strong>, match stats, <\/strong>quizzes<\/a><\/strong> and more.
