Sharma got injured in Dr B.C Roy Trophy quarter Final match and had a six-month outing, but he recovered well and came back recovering from knee injury. He joined Hindustan Aeronautics Limited S.C. midway through the 2010-11 season and made twelve appearances for the club.[4]

He had one of the rarest and saddest experience while playing his trade at his first club.
