Punjab Kings Player Jitesh Sharma Wiki | Bio

28 years old Jitesh Sharma (born on October 22, 1993) is an Indian cricket player from Maharashtra who got picked by Punjab King in IPL 2022 auction for INR 20 lacs. He played his first IPL 2022 match on March 3 as a PBKS player.

The game was against CSK (Chennai Super Kings), and the stadium was Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium. Team captains came for the toss, and CSK chose to let PBKS bat first after winning the toss.

Openers for PBKS were usual, but unfortunately, skipper Mayank Agarwal got out on the second ball of the match. The second wicket for CSK also came early, and things started to tense for the Kings.

Despite the challenging situation, Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone, with blasting strokes, managed to put 100 runs on board. After Shikhar got out, Jitesh came, but another fall of the wicket and Livingstone left the burden to score well on Jitesh’s shoulders. Sharma leaving the worry behind, smashed a six on the second ball and made his intentions obvious.

Another six came for Jitesh on the eighth ball he played. After three sixes, the Maharashtrian batsman got out due to a backstroke he was trying to play. Nonetheless, he scored 26 runs over 17 balls with a strike rate of 152.94.

The match ended well for Punjab Kings as they managed to limit CSK in 18 overs, taking all ten wickets. It was a beautiful win for PBKS as they defeated Chennai with 54 runs, which is quite a significant margin.
