Speaking on GeoCinema, Jitesh Sharma said, ‘I do not compromise on my strike rate to score runs. I try my best to keep my strike rate good. This game also believes the same. I believe that whatever runs I score help the coming batsmen a lot and they can also bat freely. This is my aim.

My focus remains that I can finish the match on my own. At present I am not able to do this but I have full hope that in the coming time, I will be able to finish the matches for my team.

I don’t think much while batting: Rinku Singh

Rinku Singh, another young player of the Indian team, has also performed very well in international cricket so far and many people have praised his batting.

Rinku Singh said, ‘It has become my habit to bat at number 6 and finish the match. I am very happy with my work. It was very cold in Mohali and fielding was very difficult here. I told myself to bat at number 6 and I didn’t even have a chance to play much ball, so I wanted to score as many runs as possible. I have also talked to Dhoni bhai and he has said to play after seeing the ball. There is no need to rush, just keep your mind calm. I also did the same.
