After about a month, Sharma began timing the ball better and hitting with more power.
He now leads the league in runs.
His team, Kashi Rudras, also recovered after several losses by beating Noida Kings.
Sharma says the team must focus on the next small task instead of worrying about the final result.
Karan Sharma spent 10 days training with Pravin Amre in Mumbai before the season.
The technical adjustments improved Sharma’s timing, power-hitting and shot-making.
