Indian cricket team’s young wicket-keeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma has made a name for himself in T20 cricket in a very short time. First, Jitesh’s bat is speaking for domestic cricket, then for IPL, and finally for Team India.
It is noteworthy that in the fourth T20 match against Australia in Raipur, Jitesh Sharma demonstrated his hard-hitting batting. In the match, Jitesh played a brilliant inning of 35 runs in 19 balls with the help of 1 four and 3 skyscraper sixes and played an important role in helping India win.
On the other hand, after Jitesh Sharma, Sanju Samson’s T20 career seems to be almost over. It is noteworthy that Sanju gets very few opportunities to play for India and now Jitesh is making a name for himself in the shortest format of the game as a hard hitter. Apart from this, Sanju has got a place only in the ODI team in the all-format series against South Africa.
In T-20, once again the Indian management has shown confidence in Jitesh Sharma and given him a place in the T-20 team. Apart from India, if Jitesh manages to perform well in South Africa too, then it is unlikely that Sanju Samson will get a place in the shortest format of the game.
