Sushant was summoned by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to contribute as a net bowler in 2020. Demonstrating dedication and skill during two years of net bowling, his persistence bore fruit when he secured a significant opportunity. In the IPL 2022, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) recognized his potential and included him in their team, where he earned a coveted spot in the franchise’s squad.

This marked a pivotal moment in Sushant’s cricket journey as he transitioned from a net bowler to a player in the IPL. However, the Darbhanga-based cricketer is yet to make his IPL debut.
