Royal Challengers Bangalore -nominated Finisher Jitesh Sharma said that the order has re -designed the value of its knock while batting, and is now treating the score of 30 or 40s as fifty. Jitesh has often taken out to bat at number 6 in IPL 2025 and thus his most important contribution has been 40 runs in RCB’s 12 -run win over Mumbai Indians a few days ago. “Now everyone seems to be a finisher. But it’s a difficult task to bat at 6, no 7, because since I started finishing, I have not scored fifty. I was a opener. Earlier I scored half -centuries and centuries,” RCB was said in the latest episodes of the bold diary.
However, the 31 -year -old said he wins for the team over a personal landmark.
“I used to enjoy growing my bat when I reached a milestone. But ever since I became a finisher, I never got a chance to make fifty. (It is mostly 10 balls, 30 runs. 20 balls, 40 runs.
He said, “These scores are 50 for us. If you do 60-70 in 30 balls, it’s like 100. And I am happy, I am very happy, if the team wins,” he said.
But Jitesh said that as a wicketkeeper, he gives him some advantages during a match such as an opportunity to study pitch and opposition batsmen.
“Your brain is definitely tired. The advantage is that you can control the game from there. You get an idea about what your team bowlers can do on one wicket. You can read other big batsmen; this is also an advantage.
“When a new batsman takes four to six balls, he understands the wicket. I understand that in two balls, because I have taken the first wicket. I am involved for 240 balls. It’s the fun of cricket for me,” he said.
RCB patron Dinesh Karthik also praised Jitesh for the work he is putting in his game.
“He is always hungry to learn. He likes, ‘What can I do?” He calls me Anna.
“So it’s very fun.
