Sharma plays domestic cricket for Chandigarh. In the 2024–25 domestic season, she took 11 wickets in six matches in the Senior Women's One-Day Trophy, a return that helped put her into Women’s Premier League contention.[2] Ahead of the 2026 Women's Premier League, she was signed by Delhi Capitals for ₹20 lakh.[3]
Sharma made an immediate impact in the Women's Premier League. In January 2026, playing for Delhi Capitals against Gujarat Giants, she took 5 wickets for 33 runs, including a hat-trick in the final over of the innings.[4][5] Her final over brought four wickets, the first such instance in the Women's Premier League.[6] She finished the season with 17 wickets in 10 innings and was named the Emerging Player of the Season.[7][8]
In May 2026, Sharma was named in India's squad for the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup and the preceding T20I series against England.[9] She made her Women's Twenty20 International debut against England at Chelmsford on 28 May 2026, taking 3 wickets for 34 runs.[10] Later that month, she said that the Women's Premier League had helped her learn how to handle pressure and approach situations differently.[11]
