Allround Dawson downs Sussex to keep Hampshire on a roll

Noah Sharma is an award‑winning investigative correspondent for The Indian Express, where he uncovers the power structures, conflicts of interest, and ethical grey zones that shape modern cricket. A graduate of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Sharma broke into prominence with his exposés on insider‑trading allegations around IPL franchise owners, and he has since become one of the most respected — and feared — voices in South Asian sports journalism. His reporting spans boardroom politics at the BCCI, match‑fixing investigations, and the human stories behind the players and officials. Known for his meticulous sourcing and legal awareness, Sharma’s work has led to parliamentary inquiries and policy reforms. He also writes long‑form features on the evolving identity of Indian cricket and is a regular speaker at journalism schools across the subcontinent.
