Jitesh Sharma's IPL Success Leads to India Recall for Asia Cup
Jitesh Sharma's performance in IPL 2025 has earned him a recall to the Indian T20I squad for the Asia Cup. Dinesh Karthik, RCB's batting coach, mentored Sharma, helping him develop his finishing skills and contribute crucial runs for the team. Karthik noted Sharma's initial struggle with desperation to play for India, which affected his earlier performances.
Sharma's focus on improving his finishing ability and consistency paid off, culminating in an impressive 85* against Lucknow Super Giants. He now aims to solidify his position in the national team during the Asia Cup, competing with Sanju Samson for the wicketkeeper spot.
“What he wanted to work on was how do I finish a game? How do I get the team to above par?”
