“Jitesh Sharma: The Young IPL Talent Catching Selectors’ Attention”

Mohali: The 16th season of IPL is becoming remarkable with the performances of young players. There are many young actors who are showing excellence like Yashaswi Jaiswal, Ayush Badoni, Nehal Vadhera, Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma and Jitesh Sharma. Suresh Raina, the former player of Chennai Super Kings and IPL legend, says that the selectors have their eyes on one of them.

Raina is named after Punjab Kings finisher Jitesh Sharma. ‘Jitesh Sharma is performing well as a middle order batsman. It featured some crucial cameo performances. He is a very aggressive player. Although he did not get a chance to play, he was a part of the Indian team. Good batting along with good wicket keeping skills. Jitesh’s way of batting attracts everyone’s attention. The selectors are sure to keep an eye on Jitesh again. I see a lot of future for the player who can hit the ball well,’ said Suresh Raina in Jio movie.

Jitesh Sharma, who made his debut for Punjab Kings last season, is doing well in IPL 2023. Before coming to Punjab, he was in the Mumbai Indians squad but did not get a chance to play. With his performance for Vidarbha in domestic cricket, the player caught the eye of Punjab Kings. Batting in the middle and lower orders, he has scored 260 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 160.49. In the series against Sri Lanka, Jitesh was replaced by the injured Sanju Samson in the Indian team but did not get a chance to play.
