===ODI career===
Karn Sharma made his ODI debut on 13 November 2014 against [[Sri Lankan Cricket Team|Sri Lanka]]. Sadly he had a terrible outing with the ball on debut and he didn't get a chance to bat for the team

===Test career===
Karn Sharma made his Test debut on 9 December 2014 against [[Australian Cricket Team|Australia]] within a month of his ODI debut. He picked up 4 Wickets in 2 innings and dismissed his IPL teammate [[David Warner (cricketer)|David Warner]] twice in the match. However he managed to score only 8 runs from 2 innings.

==Indian Premier League==

He featured for [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] in 2009.

He was signed up by the [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] franchise [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]] in 2013. In a line-up comprising [[Dale Steyn]], [[Thisara Perera]] and [[Amit Mishra]], young Sharma was the bowler the opposition batsmen were expected to target.

He responded with a mature performance. His performance against [[Kings XI Punjab]] early on in the tournament was ample proof of his potential, as he beat the [[Kings XI]] batsmen with his spin.

He fortified an already strong bowling attack with a decent economy rate and was a good foil to [[Amit Mishra]], the senior legspinner in the side. When he was given the chance also contributed with the bat scoring a stubborn unbeaten 39 when [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]] was staring at their first home defeat against [[Chennai Super Kings]].

In 2014 IPL auctions, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 3.75 crore, in a bidding war with Kings XI Punjab. He was the highest paid uncapped Indian player in IPL 2014.

In 2015, he was retained by the [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]] and he plays as the lead spin bowler for the team. After being retained in the team for the 2016 season, he won the [[2016 Indian Premier League]] with Sunrisers Hyderabad.

In February 2017, he was bought by the [[Mumbai Indians]] team for the [[2017 Indian Premier League]] for 3.2 [[crore]]s.<ref name="IPL">{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2017/content/story/1083407.html |title=List of players sold and unsold at IPL auction 2017 |access-date=20 February 2017 |work=ESPN Cricinfo}}</ref> He won the [[2017 Indian Premier League]] with Mumbai Indians, he bowled a valuable spell by giving away only 18 runs in 4 overs in the [[2017 Indian Premier League Final|final]], he also bowled 12 dot balls in the match.

In January 2018, he was bought by the [[Chennai Super Kings]] for ₹5 crores in the [[List of 2018 Indian Premier League personnel changes|2018 IPL auction]] and subsequently went on to win the title that year and held the unique record for winning IPL title three years in row with 3 different teams.<ref name="IPL2018">{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22218394/ipl-2018-player-auction-list-sold-unsold-players |title=List of sold and unsold players |access-date=27 January 2018 |work=ESPN Cricinfo}}</ref> In February 2022, he was bought by the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] in the [[List of 2022 Indian Premier League personnel changes|auction]] for the [[2022 Indian Premier League]] tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2022-auction-the-list-of-sold-and-unsold-players-1300689 |title=IPL 2022 auction: The list of sold and unsold players |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=13 February 2022}}</ref>
