Rajasthan’s Kartik Sharma has been ruled out of the Super League stage of this year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy due to a finger injury.
The wicketkeeper-batter has made headlines with his sensational power-hitting and is likely to fetch big money in the upcoming IPL 2026 auction. His ability to keep wicket and finish games late could make him a prized asset.
Kartik has scored 133 runs in five matches at a strike rate of over 160. Due to the injury, he missed the last two group league fixtures, and Rajasthan coach Anshu Jain confirmed on Thursday that the 19-year-old will be out of action for a few more days.
“It’s not a serious injury and he should recover in another 10–15 days. He suffered a finger injury, and while batting or keeping, he experienced some discomfort and pain,” Jain told *Sportstar*. “After a long time, I have seen a young batter like Kartik who can hit so cleanly, and his absence will be felt. But then, such things happen in cricket when a team fares well despite the absence of its best players. So this has been an opportunity for another young cricketer, Mukul Choudhary, to prove himself, and he has done so.”
Mukul smashed a fiery 62 off 26 deliveries against Delhi, helping the team qualify for the Super League stage.
