In the upcoming Indian Premier League season, Jitesh Sharma will take a crucial role behind the team's title defence. In the previous season, when the team from Bengaluru claimed their maiden IPL trophy, Jitesh Sharma emerged as one of the main catalysts. In the IPL 2026, when RCB tries to defend their title, fans will be hoping to see Sharma taking a crucial role.
How will Jitesh Sharma score runs at a quick pace in a death over, if the bowler is the Mumbai Indians' (MI) pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah? AB de Villiers set the hurdle for the RCB keeper-batter.
Sharma wants to think ahead of Bumrah
"If Bumrah is bowling, I know that he mostly relies on his bouncer and he's a very smart bowler. He can bluff you all the time. I think playing with the field, I think it will be the best option. And be ready for two balls. Not just focusing on one ball. That is going to the Yorker. With him playing with the field, using your crease will be the key for me at that moment," Jitesh Sharma said.
The RCB batter said what he would do if Bumrah delivers a yorker
"First ball, I think he will go his best ball. So, I might be ready for Yorker. If the square leg is up, I might think about creating, showing him my leg stomp, and going over the square leg or fine leg. That's what I thought at that time," the RCB star opined.
