Jitesh Sharma has evolved into one of the most dynamic finishers in Indian domestic and T20 cricket. Known for his clean striking and ability to accelerate from ball one, the Vidarbha wicketkeeper-batter had a breakout season with PBKS in 2022 and later made his India debut. His consistency and explosive style made him a hot pick in the TATA IPL 2025 auction, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru securing his services for INR 11 Crore.
Against RR, Jitesh has been impressive, scoring 160 runs in 5 innings at an average of 40.00 and a strike rate of 150.94. His best performance came in 2023 when he smashed 44 off 28 balls at HPCA Stadium. With his recent form and the ability to counter spin, Jitesh could play a crucial finishing role in RCB’s middle order in the upcoming clash against Rajasthan.
