NAGPUR: Vidarbha wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma has caught everyone's eye in the last couple of years with his ability to finish the games. His remarkable quality of sending the balls deep into the stands has established him as a go-to batter. As the Amravati-born player made constant headlines in the IPL, his remarkable glovework, that also played an important role in winning matches, did not get the limelight it deserved.
Despite having England's Jonny Bairstow in the playing XI, the Punjab Kings management had Jitesh behind the wickets in all the high-pressure IPL games. The faith IPL franchise showed in him was a testimony to his reliable wicketkeeping skills.
