Early life

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

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.

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.
