Jitesh Sharma is a unique cricket player, according to RCB batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik, who also highlighted how hard he has been working in the off-season, concentrating on maintaining composure while pursuing large targets. The former batsman and wicketkeeper for India claimed that Jitesh supported his abilities and performed well in a pivotal match, leading RCB to Qualifier 1.
After helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) win a crucial match at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, May 28, with a spectacular knock against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Jitesh Sharma enthralled the cricket community.
Virat Kohli was dismissed by RCB for 123 runs in the 12th over when they were chasing 228. With six wickets remaining, they needed 105 runs from 52 deliveries. Jitesh Sharma hammered the LSG bowlers all over the field as he began his innings in sixth gear. As RCB easily won with six wickets and eight balls remaining, he ultimately finished undefeated at 85 off 33 balls, hitting eight fours and six sixes.
“Cricket Jitesh Sharma is unique.
In the off-season, he put in a lot of work. In an interview with JioStar after the game, Karthik stated, “He’s worked very hard to learn how to chase big totals and how to stay calm in those kinds of situations.”
“Today was a fantastic illustration of what happens when you trust your abilities and, more importantly, the shots you are familiar with. Delivering in pivotal occasions is also important,” he continued.

Karthik praised Jitesh for taking charge and leading RCB to a record-breaking run chase. In the 46th innings of his IPL career, the 31-year-old hit his first half-century.
As a leader and a player, you occasionally need your senior players to step up. Karthik remarked, “It was great to see him get that fifty today—and more importantly, stay not out and take us across the line.” He has made many cameos.
In Qualifier 1, RCB will now play Punjab Kings on Thursday, May 29, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.
