Sharad Vesawkar has long been regarded as one of the most composed and dependable figures in Nepal cricket—a cricketer who has weathered storms, carried responsibilities, and helped guide his country through its transformation from an emerging side to a recognized force in Associate cricket. Born on October 9, 1988, in Dubai to a Nepali family, Sharad eventually settled in Nepal where his cricketing dreams took flight. From his early days in Kathmandu, it was evident that Sharad possessed rare maturity and poise with the bat. His calm demeanor, solid technique, and clutch performances under pressure made him a natural fit in the middle order. He first caught national attention during the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, where his composed batting under high-pressure situations helped Nepal qualify for their first-ever ICC World T20 in 2014—a landmark achievement. In that unforgettable tournament in Bangladesh, Sharad’s match-winning innings against Hong Kong in a tense chase became part of Nepalese cricketing folklore. His ability to keep his cool when nerves frayed set him apart. Fans came to know him as Nepal’s “finisher” long before the term became fashionable in Associate cricket. Sharad is known for rotating the strike, hitting boundaries with precision rather than power, and adapting to match situations with intelligence. Though he rarely seeks the spotlight, his cricketing brain and experience have often made him the go-to man for captains. He’s also contributed with part-time off-spin and been a reliable fielder in the inner ring. Off the field, Vesawkar is known for his humility, discipline, and contribution to youth development in Nepalese cricket. He’s often been involved in mentoring roles, especially for younger batters learning to handle pressure and play the anchor role. His experience and leadership qualities have made him a respected voice in the dressing room. Though newer names have emerged in Nepal’s cricketing scene, Sharad’s importance remains intact—he’s the steadying hand, the quiet architect behind many famous victories. As of 2025, even if his on-field appearances become less frequent, his impact continues—be it through domestic cricket, mentorship, or quiet moments in the locker room when young cricketers look to him for guidance. Sharad Vesawkar isn’t just a cricketer; he’s a part of Nepal’s cricketing soul—measured, brave, and unwavering.
