Jitesh Sharma (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Indian young wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma impressed everyone with his performance in the IPL and due to this he got a chance in Team India. However, in the 2024 IPL, Jitesh could score only 187 runs in 12 innings. During this period his strike rate was also only 131.6. Now meanwhile, Jitesh has revealed that he was thinking a lot about the T20 World Cup 2024 during the tournament, due to which his performance in IPL 2024 was disappointing. He also revealed that he was in India’s plans, but did not get a chance due to the abundance of wicketkeeper-batsmen in the team. Speaking to India TV, Jitesh said, “When the IPL started, I was thinking a lot about the World Cup and perhaps that is why I could not focus much on the given match.” I too would have given priority to both of them – Jitesh Sharma “I have no shame in admitting it,” he confessed. It is what it is. I couldn’t think clearly because the World Cup selection was on my mind. The moment the team was selected, my batting got much better. I felt more open, I knew I wasn’t in the team, because I knew I had to focus and score runs. So I managed to play 2-3 good innings till the end of the tournament.” Jitesh Sharma further said, “If I were a selector, I would not have selected myself at that time because Rishabh Pant came back and proved himself and the form Sanju Bhai was in, I would not have selected myself. I too would have given priority to both of them.” Let us tell you that Jitesh has played 9 T-20 international matches for India, in which he has scored 100 runs at an average of 14.28 and an excellent strike rate of 147.05. He last played against Afghanistan in January 2024. In IPL 2023, Jitesh Sharma scored 309 runs at a strike rate of 156.06.

IND vs NZ: Dinesh Karthik spoke big about Gautam Gambhir’s strategy in the Bengaluru Test, know what he said?
In this test match, India’s first innings was reduced to just 46 runs. Dinesh Karthik and Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter In the absence of Shubman Gill, India had to make some changes in its batting order in the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the match, it was decided to send experienced batsman Virat Kohli at number 3 and Sarfaraz Khan, who replaced Gill, at number 4. However, this strategy of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir could not show anything special. Kohli was out without scoring any runs in 9 balls in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test match. On the other hand, former wicketkeeper batsman and Dinesh Karthik, who played with Kohli in RCB, has given a big statement regarding this decision of the Indian management. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement Let us tell you that Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz – I am not defending Virat Kohli, he has the temperament and technique like some of the great batsmen who have played so far. If I make any changes it is because I am confident that that player will perform well there, not because I want to save Virat Kohli. He plays at number 4 in Tests. He opens 3 times in every ODI and T20 match. Now you can say the ball is different, it is not rotating as much, 100 per cent, where is the best position for Virat Kohli in Test cricket, he is just number four. Virat Kohli is also commendable. He could have easily said, no, let me bat at number four, because you can keep KL Rahul or Sarfaraz Khan at number three. The coach would have said, OK, I will manage that conversation. The fact that he went to bat at number 3 shows his (serious) mindset.
