The Indian Premier League (IPL) has served as a stage for players to demonstrate their abilities and get recognition. Jitesh Sharma, a fresh addition for Punjab Kings, is one such player who now is slowly but surely building a mark for himself with his impressive performances. Since making his way in the tournament, Sharma has performed some quick bowling for the Punjab club. He backed that up with 26 off 17 against Chennai Super Kings, including three peaks, and 23 off 11 against Gujarat Titans, as well as an undefeated 30 in 15 bowling against Mumbai Indians.
The Punjab Kings’ centre has been enhanced by the introduction of the right-handed wicket-keeper batsman, particularly in a circumstance where Shah Rukh Khan hasn’t been able to go all guns blazing.
In IPL 2016, the cricketer was a member of the Mumbai Indians squad, but he was unable to make his mark for the franchise. In domestic cricket, though, he has been a constant for Vidarbha. It’s worth noting that Jitesh hammered three sixes in his IPL debut. He then moved on to dismiss his opponent, MS Dhoni, with a spectacular catch. After putting up a match-winning effort on his IPL debut, the wicketkeeper-batsman hopes to repeat the feat throughout the season.
Notably, the 23-year-old had a strong showing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022 tournament, scoring 214 runs at an average of 53.50 in eight games. He had a scoring rate of 235.16, which would have amazed a lot of people, and his six-hitting powers are also mentioned. His outstanding performances enabled Vidarbha to reach the tournament’s semi-finals, but they were defeated by Karnataka.
