Early life

Vivrant Sharma was born on 30 October 1999 in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.[6]

Vivrant pursued his schooling in BSF senior secondary school and shifted his focus to cricket post his intermediate studies.[7]

After losing his father Sushil Sharma at the age of 14 to a kidney failure, Vivrant's brother Vikrant took over the family responsibilities and made Vivrant concentrate on developing his cricket skills.[8]

Vivrant started off as a right-handed batter, but in his sixth standard, following the footsteps of his brother Vikrant, he switched to become a left-handed batter and a leg spin bowler.[9]
