Sasuke received a rinnegan due to him being the transmigrate of Indra, leading the Uchiha to contact Hagoromo so that he could activate this power from within him.

I'm assuming that's why Sasuke received a Rinnegan which behaves and acts like a Sharinan, but with Rinnegan properties/abilities as-well.
