Sehwag said that Jitesh intrigued a ton. Would it be a good idea for us to likewise remember him for the T20 World Cup crew going to Australia? I'm posing this inquiry since whoever scores runs, we put him in the rundown of probables for the World Cup. In any case, there is no question that he intrigued me a ton with his game.
"Assuming that I needed to choose the group, I would have taken him to Australia for the T20 World Cup (in September-October) as the second wicket-guardian batsman," he said. Not many players including Ishan Kishan, Dinesh Karthik and Sanju Samson are competing for the save wicket-attendant batsman's spot however Sehwag put Jitesh above them all.
Sehwag said, 'Ishan is the wicket-keeper batsman, Rishabh Pant is the wicket-keeper batsman, Wriddhiman Saha is the wicket-keeper batsman, but the one who impressed me the most in all of them is Jitesh Sharma. He bats fearlessly and plays his shots. He knows which ball to hit at cover and which to play at mid-off and mid-on. Jitesh was bought for his base price of Rs 20 lakh. He has scored 162 runs in seven innings so far and has a strike rate of 167.01. He remained unbeaten twice.
